The Option for the Poor Award was given in recognition of the sisters’ many years of service “Working for Justice and acting for Peace in the El Paso Diocese.”
At the ceremony in El Paso, Texas, in November, Helen Santamaria SL gave the keynote, a reflection on the call of the Gospel to end racism today. Loretto Academy Alumna, Sofia Larkin ‘87 read the proclamation; the Rev. Ben Flores, Vicar General and Moderator of the Curia, presented the award to the sisters on behalf of Bishop Mark Seitz, who was traveling.
