Archbishop Jerome E. Listecki with volunteers from 2024 awardees representing Lake Country Living
Archbishop Listecki's Treasures of the Church Awards Bring Hundreds Together at four Lenten Luncheon Events.
Each of the four annual Lenten Luncheon events honors Treasures of the Church Awardees for their compassionate service and celebrates the mission of Catholic Charities. These events bring people together for a simple lunch during the Lenten season with Archbishop Listecki, Treasures of the Church Awardees and friends of Catholic Charities.
We so enjoyed spending time with more than 700 people who believe in the Catholic Charities mission at 2024's Lenten Luncheons, and we look forward to seeing even more of you in 2025's Lenten season.
