angel Award presentation event

Congratulations to the 2023 Angel Award Winners, Live Vertical and Roman Catholic High School. The winners were awarded a total of $60,000, with $35,000 going to Live Vertical and $25,000 to Roman Catholic High School. 

The funds awarded to Live Vertical will expand the reach and depth of campus ministry beyond the campus minister by creating evangelization teams in high schools composed of students and adults. These teams will work with the campus minister to be catalysts for encounters with Jesus within their school community. The focus is a mission for one.

The funds awarded to Roman Catholic Hich School will address the gap between knowing “about” Jesus and entering into a relationship “with” Jesus. They plan to establish a relational model of ministry and evangelization where teenagers are invited into a personal relationship with Jesus.

Dr. Tammy Tenaglia, Vice Chair of CFGP’s Board of Trustees and Chair of CFGP’s Grant Committee, noted, "We are thrilled to recognize the outstanding efforts of Live Vertical and Roman Catholic High School and their innovative approach to faith-driven initiatives. The Angel Award represents our Foundation’s commitment to fostering creative and impactful projects within the Greater Philadelphia Catholic community."

We would also like to acknowledge St. Charles Borromeo Seminary and Father Dailey for participating in the event. We appreciate all the effort everyone put into this endeavor.

After hearing these dynamic presentations, investors in attendance contributed an additional $12,000 (and counting!). Though not every organization could receive the Angel Award, the generosity of those in the room allowed for every project to have some level of financial support.

The Angel Award runs on a yearly grant cycle. Watch for the announcement of the Letter of Intent window opening for the 2024 Angel Award.
