The Golden Rose Award Program
The Golden Rose Award Program recognizes high school young women between the ages of 14 and 18 who demonstrate exemplary leadership, spirituality, and commitment to service in their parish and community.
This prestigious award honors young Catholic women who embody the virtues of faith, service, and leadership — qualities that reflect the spirit of MACCW and the broader mission of the Church. Recipients are nominated by their parish communities and evaluated on their active participation in parish life, their dedication to service, and their witness of faith.
