Economic Justice for All
We cannot separate what we believe from how we act in the marketplace and the broader community, for this is where we make our primary contribution to the pursuit of economic justice.

Each year, The Catholic Spirit honors business people guided by their Catholic values — men and women whose business practices reflect the teachings of Jesus Christ and the church. They are business owners, managers and executives who hail from a variety of fields.
Nominations are solicited from throughout the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis. Winners are selected in each of three following categories: large business, small business and nonprofit organizations.
The winners are honored at the annual Catholic Spirit Leading With Faith luncheon* and presented their awards by Archbishop John C. Nienstedt.
