Congratulations CatholicMom.com for CPA award!
Editor’s Note: I’m so proud to be part of the CatholicMom.com community, contributing to the blog since 2012, and to the Catholic Moms Prayer Companion in 2016, with the exciting CMN book launch. Here’s the official announcement on CatholicMom.com by our incredible editor, Barb Szyszkiewicz, OFS:
The community of CatholicMom.com authors, which now includes more than 140 volunteer writers, was honored at the Catholic Press Association Awards event on Friday, June 15 at the Catholic Media Conference in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
CatholicMom.com took third place in the Best Publication Blog category. The judges noted the diversity among our authors, commenting, “these blog posts always cover a wide range of topics and do a good job revolving around religion without being too heavy or serious. Since they incorporate articles from contributors they have a lot of different perspectives and voices featured on their blogs.”
Several CatholicMom.com authors also received awards for their books. These include:
- Maria Morera Johnson, Second Place in Gender Issues for Super Girls and Halos (Ave Maria Press)
- Jeannie Ewing, Honorable Mention in Spirituality (Hard Cover) for Waiting with Purpose(En Route Books & Media)
- Sonja Corbitt and Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers, Honorable Mention for Scripture: Popular Studies for Ignite: Read the Bible Like Never Before (Franciscan Media)
- Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle, Honorable Mention in Prayer: Collections of Prayers for A Catholic Woman’s Book of Prayers (Paraclete Press)
- Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle, Honorable Mention in Popular Presentation of the Catholic Faith for Our Lady of Fatima: 100 Years of Stories, Prayers, and Devotions(Servant Books)
CatholicMom.com Brand Manager Danielle Bean and contributor Pat Gohn were honored for their work on Catechist magazine with a second-place award for Best Redesign.
And one of our recent Book Club picks won an award as well: Kate Wicker’s Getting Past Perfect (a CatholicMom book from Ave Maria Press) took second place in the Family Life category.
The full list of winners is available at CatholicPress.org.
