We are happy to announce that our “Saint John the Baptist Pro-Life League” will receive the 2026 Ruth V. K. Pakaluk Pro-Life Youth Award from the Diocese of Worcester for outstanding youth commitment to the pro-life cause.
The award will be presented on Wednesday, March 25, 2026, at the Cathedral of St. Paul, during the diocesan Mass for Life celebrated by Bishop Robert McManus.
In a letter to parents, Sister Marie-Jean, MICM, the League Director, praised the student group’s achievements and noted the historical significance of the moment: “This is the first time that this award has ever been presented to an entire group! We are receiving a wonderful honor and privilege!”
The Ruth V. K. Pakaluk Pro-Life Youth Award commemorates the late Ruth Pakaluk, a celebrated champion of the pro-life movement in Worcester whose cause for canonization was recently announced.
The school plans for grade 8-12 students to attend the Mass. For more information, parents are encouraged to contact the school.
