St. Clare Award

We are pleased to share that Ben was recently notified he was chosen to receive an award from the Sisters of St. Francis in Sylvania, Ohio.  He and Jen will travel to Sylvania in September where he will be presented with the St. Clare Award which recognizes individuals who exemplify Franciscan values by embracing the poor and marginalized., who advocates for the less fortunate and promotes peaceful causes.

You can learn more about the Sisters at:

A webpage features information about Sisters Fidelis and Josephine's work in Pestel, Haiti.  


Thriving Villages International would not exist without the dedication and persistence and leadership of Sister Fidelis who has poured out her life for Christ to the people of Pestel.  A short bio on Sister Fidelis will be emailed out soon.

We are truly grateful for this honor and the affirmation that it brings to the work God is leading us to.
