Each January at the Annual Study Week the Board of Directors presents an award to recognize outstanding contributions to the work of liturgical renewal in the region. These awards are a sign of commendation and appreciation for those who have worked faithfully in a variety of liturgical ministries; they also serve as inspiration and encouragement for those who are just beginning to work in the area of liturgy and liturgical music.
