At last week’s Catholic Press awards in Charlotte, North Carolina, FAITH Catholic titles took away awards in nearly every category — a total of 19. FAITH Catholic President and CEO Patrick O'Brien said, "It is a well-deserved recognition of our excellent team of editors, designers, photographers and technology geniuses both at FAITH and from our clients. Thank you to Elizabeth Solsburg, Vice President, for her leadership with all involved. On behalf of Bishop Boyea, Fr. Dwight Ezop and the rest of our board of directors, I extend my most heartfelt congratulations."
