Our parish of St. John Eudes plans to honor an outstanding volunteer to receive the St. John Eudes Medal this year. I am requesting that names of volunteers who by their lives have provided outstanding Catholic examples of service to others to be considered for the St. John Eudes Medal.
I am requesting that each of the MINISTRY LEADERS, after consulting with ministry members, submit the name of a nominee for the award. Please provide a written explanation of the reason for selecting the nominee. The volunteer does not have to belong to the ministry making the nomination.
I am also requesting that PARISHIONERS consider who they would select and submit a letter of recommendation.
In the selection process please consider the traits of an outstanding volunteer as described below:
- Dependability: If you promise to do something – do it.
- Reliability: Be on time and show up when you say you will.
- Commitment: See a project through completion.
- Flexibility: In thought and deed. Adapt to change.
- Team Player: Collaborates and works well with others.
Also consider the ways in which the volunteer’s efforts affect the life of St. John Eudes parish. Do their efforts?
- Have a positive effect on the spiritual health of the parish community.
- Improve the social services of the parish community.Enhance the appearance of the community.
- Enhance the liturgical life of the parish community.
- Reduce the cost of managing the church and school.
- Strengthen the relationship of the parish with the surrounding communities.
- Give newcomers the impression that St. John Eudes is a welcoming community.
- Any other characteristic that you consider creates a benefit to the parish.
The Medal will be presented on the weekend of St. John Eudes feast day. In previous years the medal was awarded to Mel Spratley, Jim & Dorothy Gergen, and Jim & Liz Carlin for their outstanding service to our community.
Respectfully, Fr. Gérard
