Bishop Anthony M. Pilla Peace and Justice Award
The Bishop Anthony M. Pilla Peace and Justice Award, is a sign of our gratitude for his service to the diocese of Cleveland, and his inspiration to its youth. This award will be given annually, through the Catholic Schools for Peace and Justice network, which Bishop Pilla helped found. It is given to graduating seniors who, through their involvement and leadership in CSPJ activities, were nominated and selected by the faculty of diocesan schools. Each school’s selected students will receive a plaque to commemorate their honor. In addition, a permanent plaque of honor will be displayed at the Diocesan Social Action Office, where CSPJ meetings are sometimes held throughout each year.
