Maria Goretti 2026

Congratulations to Andy Merkley, Grace Kluesner, and Zachary Betz who received the Maria Goretti Youth Distinction Award today at the Diocese of Evansville. These three embody all of the qualities that the award is meant to recognize. They go above and beyond to represent Jesus Christ in all they do. They are outstanding citizens, students, parishioners, and leaders. Thank you Andy, Grace, and Zachary for all that you do for our parish and our community. The world is a better place because of you! The purpose of the Saint Maria Goretti Youth Distinction is to recognize young people for their outstanding faith, service, and dedication to the mission of the Catholic Church in their local community. This distinction is meant to recognize youth and encourage them on their path to holiness.
