The Diocese of Manchester is currently seeking nominations for the Vita et Caritas Award (For Life and Love Award), given to a volunteer of a non-profit organization who makes significant contributions that help transform the lives of women, children and families. The non-profit organization will also receive a $2,500 grant. The recipient will be honored Sept. 8 at the annual Bishop’s Summer Reception, celebrating the success of the Bishop’s Charitable Assistance Fund campaign.
This annual award is given in honor of the memory of Ruthie Ford, whose life reflected Catholic ideals and tireless dedication to service in the cause of helping women, children and families. After Ruthie’s death in 2012, her family worked with the Bishop of Manchester to establish the Vita et Caritas Award. Ruthie was one of the first supporters as well as a director of what today is the Bishop’s Charitable Assistance Fund.
