THE EVENT
Bishop Myron J. Cotta is continuing the legacy of the honorable Bishop Emeritus Stephen E. Blaire, who established the Bishop’s Awards Dinner event in 2002. The Bishop’s Awards annual dinner event has recognized individuals who have significantly contributed to the spiritual growth of the Diocese and whose selfless giving of oneself benefits others with no expectation of recognition, reward, or acknowledgement. A celebration of faith, this event pays tribute to and honors outstanding Catholic women and men – lay, clergy, and religious who have given so graciously through their lifetime of service and who exemplify leadership in the family, the community, the workplace, and the Church. Since 2002, over 300 individuals have been honored and net proceeds of over $1,740,000 have been raised to benefit Catholic Charities and SEEDS. 

THE AWARD
This special honor features The Annunciation of the Lord as the image of the award that has been bestowed to over 300 individuals throughout our Diocese. The award was designed to create an elegant representation with depth and clarity. This significant piece is a treasure for those who are recipients of this honor.
