I am beyond delighted and honored to have received the third place award for Best Writing – Analysis from the Catholic Media Association for my article “Hollowed and Hallowed: Vocation Minister as Leader into the Future” in Horizon: Journal of the National Religious Vocation Conference 49:3 (Summer 2024) 18-22.

“Sometimes ministry can leave a person feeling hollowed out.
That experience has potential to create a sacred space in which the Spirit may be alive and at work.”

I am grateful to editor-extraordinaire Carol Schuck-Scheiber and all the folks at NRVC who are leaders in vocations work and who publish phenomenal resources for both discerners and ministers. I have enjoyed many years of collaboration with them and with their partner Patrice J. Tuohy of TrueQuest Communications. Congratulations to them for multiple awards from the Catholic Media Association.

Horizon has graciously given me permission to post my article for you. Enjoy and let me know what you think!
