Unsung Heroines – Catholic Women of the Year 2012

Nominations are invited for the 2012 Catholic Women of the Year. The idea is to honour the “unsung heroines” who take on responsibilities and carry out service to others in steadfast and perhaps unobtrusive ways. The nomination can simply be a letter from a friend, colleague, parish priest or even a family member setting out the facts in a brief way. The idea is to honour women who in their homes and families, in public office or in their business or professional lives, are seeking to live and uphold the Church’s teachings with love and dedication. Letters can be typed or handwritten, no more than two pages in length, and should be sent to Mrs Janette Woodford, 22 Milton Road, WARE, Herts, SG12 0PZ or e-mailed to mijamajoje@ntlworld.com by 30th April 2012. The Catholic Women of the Year Luncheon will be held on Monday 8th October at the Thistle Hotel, Marble Arch, London and the funds raised this year will go to the Maryvale Institute to develop its work of training catechists in teaching the Faith to the next generation.
