Wanted: Your nominations for the archdiocese’s annual Legacy Award

Criterion staff report

The list is an impressive one. Former archdiocesan chancellor and longtime Catholic schools’ leader Annette “Mickey” Lentz, the late Msgr. Paul Koetter, longtime St. Monica Parish religious education director Mary Jo Thomas-Day, and the late Deacon Marc Kellams, who served as corrections ministry coordinator for the archdiocese. All were recognized in recent years by the archdiocese as Legacy Gala award winners.

Do you know a faith-filled individual or couple—like the group listed above—who has established a legacy through their involvement in Catholic ministry? If so, the archdiocesan Office of Stewardship and Development is asking you to nominate them for a chance to be honored at the 2024 Legacy Gala next February.

While the gala is a fundraising celebration of the gifts the archdiocese shares with people across central and southern Indiana—through its 67 schools, its outreach of Catholic Charities agencies and its formation of seminarians at Bishop Simon Bruté College Seminary in Indianapolis—it also celebrates the contributions that Catholics make to these efforts.

A nomination form can be found at tinyurl.com/3jztuxsb. The deadline is July 11. †
