Good Neighbor Awards

Who is my neighbor?

Everyone is our neighbor.

​

According to Lawrence G. Lovasik's book: The Hidden Power of Kindness: A Practical Handbook for Souls Who Dare to Transform the World, One Deed at a Time, 1962, 1999, Sophia Institute Press, p3:

​

"The Standard for the love of God is giving all. The standard for the love of neighbor is love of self. You should love others in the same measure as you love yourself--as if your neighbor were your very self."

​

Why these awards?

​​

These awards celebrate the spirit of great neighborliness by annually recognizing ordinary neighbors, youth, parish communities, non-profit organizations or groups for their extraordinary ability to engage and challenge members of their parish communities and neighborhoods to become great neighbors [because great is always better than good] especially when that good is performed with great love.​​​

​

"Service is what prayer looks like when it gets off of its knees and walks around the world."

​

When we know, love, and serve our neighbors, we know, love, and serve our God. We believe these awards further the Kingdom of God through hospitality, service, smiles, and hugs! 

​

"...and the winner is..."

1 PETER 4:10 ..“As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God’s varied grace.”

Every believer has a gift they can use to further the Kingdom of God by serving others. 

Teach. Practice. Reach.
