Bishop Kicanas is keynote speaker for Celebrating Catholic Schools Values

Bishop Emeritus Gerald F. Kicanas of the Diocese of Tucson, Ariz., will be the keynote speaker during the 23rd annual Celebrating Catholic Schools Values: Scholarship and Career Achievement Reception and Awards program on Feb. 7.

The program will be held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel Grand Hall of Union Station in Indianapolis. The invitation-only event begins with a reception at 5:30 p.m., with the awards program starting at 7:00 p.m.

Bishop Kicanas is the chairperson of the board of directors of the National Catholic Educational Association.

Since 1996, the Celebrating Catholic School Values event has highlighted Catholic schools as assets to the corporate community, honored an outstanding group of alumni for their career accomplishments, and honored friends of Catholic schools for their community service. 

This year, the archdiocese will honor four individuals: Jerry and Rosie Semler of St. Pius X Parish in Indianapolis, Pat Musgrave of St. Roch Parish in Indianapolis, and Virginia Marten of St. Luke the Evangelist Parish in Indianapolis. †
