St. Timothy Awards Presented to Rosary Students
Six Rosary students were presented with The Saint Timothy Award by Rosary High School in May. One senior received the award from her local parish.
The St. Timothy Award is a national recognition given to youth by the National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry in collaboration with the Religious Education and Youth Ministry Office of the Diocese of Rockford.
It is the highest recognition from the NFCYM for a diocese to confer upon a Catholic Junior High or High School youth (ages 13-18) who:
o Lives as a disciple of Christ, setting a positive example for other youth
o Witnesses to their faith by exhibiting Catholic morals and integrity
o Demonstrates Gospel values through service to others
o Exhibits Christian leadership in parish, school, and/or community settings
While Rosary students often receive the award from their parishes, this is the first time Rosary itself has nominated students and presented the St. Timothy Awards.
Rosary winners of the Saint Timothy Award are:
Eve Gilla – As host of Rosary’s weekly Town Hall meetings, Eve provides our students with Rosary news and encourages students to support their peers at upcoming events. She also serves on the Senior Retreat Team where she is always working to uplift others, especially by taking time to welcome underclassmen. Eve has a natural gift of prayer. Her spontaneous prayers show her true insight and connection to the heart of Christ.
