Record Staff Report
Forty-six teachers in the Archdiocese of Louisville who celebrated milestone years of service in 2018 received a St. Katharine Drexel Award earlier this month.
The privately-sponsored fund honors Catholic elementary school teachers in the archdiocese. The St. Katharine Drexel Award, accompanied by $1,000, was presented to teachers from 23 schools marking 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 and 45 years of service.
The fund was established by a husband and wife who are parishioners of an Archdiocese of Louisville parish. They wish to remain anonymous.
The purpose of the award is to show “appreciation and gratitude to the elementary school teachers of the Archdiocese of Louisville for their dedication, commitment and sacrifice to Catholic education,” said a statement from the award sponsors.
The public is invited to contribute to the fund and may do so by visiting cflfund.net/netcommunity/myfund-pages/drexelfund.
