The Catholic Messenger received two national awards in this year’s Catholic Press Association Awards competition. Results were announced last week during the Catholic Media Conference in Green Bay, Wis.

Judges awarded first place for “Best Front Page: Broadsheet” to Messenger staffers Anne Marie Amacher, Barb Arland-Fye and Lindsay Steele. The entry for this category required submission of three front pages published in three consecutive weeks. The judges were impressed with the pictures, which “were very large and colorful” and said that the titles on the stories “entice readers in. Good focus on youth activism and social justice work. The organization of the pages is always clean and easy to follow.”

Arland-Fye received a third-place award in the “Best Reporting of Social Justice Issues: Life and Dignity of the Human Person” for her story “Love in the time of memory loss.” The judges wrote: “These poignant stories of three men who helped their wives face memory loss before their deaths invited readers to experience the beauty of their long-term marriages. While there is sadness in each recounting, there is also great love.”
