Posted

East Providence, RI - Three Bay View Academy students received the Marian Medal from Bishop Tobin at the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul on Sunday, March 12th. They are Kathryn Nelson, a seventh grader from St. Brendan’s Parish, and Jane Maciel and Ava Troino, both seventh graders from St. Martha’s Parish. Veronica Nelson, (fifth grader from St. Brendan’s Parish) received the “I Live My Faith” medal. The following are descriptions of the awards as provided by Catholic Youth RI:

The Marian Medal, a National Award Program, provides the girls a unique opportunity to develop new insights into herself, friends, family and the world around her. The Marian medal enables girls to discuss and share together in order to come to a better understanding of the Christian life. They have the opportunity to look at their values, their approaches to life, their relationship with God and their understanding of the Virgin Mary. Above all, they have the opportunity to grow in an understanding of their Catholic faith and its traditions.

The I Live My Faith Medal is a national program that enables the girl to grow as a Christian person and to take her place as an active and responsible member of her family, parish, troop/group and community.
