It was our pleasure and honor to recognize Sister Priscilla Weidenschlager, Jim & Shirley Bobela, the Morgantown Magnificat Service Team and the many people nominated by their peers. Salt and Light honorees exemplify the teachings of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ document, “Communities of Salt and Light: Reflections on the Social Mission of the Parish.”

Communities of Salt and Light Awards Dinner Honorees
Honorees Were Recognized at the 13th Annual Communities of Salt and Light Awards Dinner

The Communities of Salt and Light Awards Dinner is a tradition of Catholic Charities Central Region. We are the only CCWVa region that holds this dinner to honor those that are the Salt and Light of the Earth. Each Catholic Charities Region has one major fundraiser to help fund their services to our most vulnerable neighbors. The Central Region has chosen the Salt and Light Awards Dinner as our major fundraiser.

Since July 1, 2014-June 8, 2015, we have served 8,430 people through our outreach centers. We have been able to help people in each of the Counties in the Clarksburg Vicariate (Doddridge, Harrison, Marion, Monongalia, Taylor, Preston and Barbour). We have distributed 163, 570 pounds of food, diapers, cleaning supplies, personal care supplies and pet food. We have distributed $3,365.59 in financial assistance for utilities and disasters.

We need the help of each one of you to continue to provide this service. Please consider supporting us at the 14th Annual Communities of Salt and Light Awards Dinner in April 2016. We are currently seeking sponsors of the event to help cover the cost of the dinner, venue and awards. If you are interested in sponsorship, please contact Kandi Shafer at 304-292-6597 or kshafer@ccwva.org.
