Since 1891, Catholic social teaching has encouraged us to stand up for worker dignity, fair wages, and human solidarity. Today, we are still called to join together as families, businesses, and the Church to support the value of work.

At Seminary Salutes | Rerum Novarum, we’ll recognize Rev. Gary Graf with the St. John Vianney Award for his dedicated priestly and pastoral service.

Named for the patron saint of parish priests, this award honors clergy who demonstrate selfless devotion to their parishioners and embody Catholic social teaching. Fr. Graf exemplifies these values through his deep relationships with parishioners, active pastoral work, and lasting commitment to justice and the dignity of every person.
