Clergy of the Year Nominations

The New Hampshire Catholic School Clergy of the Year award is named for St. John Vianney, the patron saint of parish priests. Amid a time of political turmoil in post-revolutionary France, St. John Vianney ministered with enduring joy, patience, and optimism. The recipient of the Spirit of St. John Vianney Award is a member of the clergy who similarly provides inspirational support for Catholic education in the diocese. The faithful witness that the recipient of the Spirit of St. John Vianney award provides is inspirational to students as they go on to eventually discern their vocation in life.
