The Catholic Spirit to honor local business leaders guided by Catholic values
2013 marks the 12th year The Catholic Spirit is honoring Leading With Faith award winners — men and women whose business practices reflect the teachings of Jesus Christ and the church.
Nominations are now being requested from throughout the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis. Winners will be selected in each of three categories: large business, small business and nonprofit organizations.
The winners will be honored at the annual Catholic Spirit Leading With Faith lunch August 14 at St. Catherine University in St. Paul. Archbishop John Nienstedt presented the awards.
