Helene Sheets, Director of College Relations for Lourdes College, is being honored for her achievements at the 2008 Urban All-American Celebration. Now in its 17th year, the Urban All-American Celebration is presented by the Diocese of Toledo’s Central City Ministry of Toledo (CCMT). The event is being held on Monday, May 19, at Gladieux Meadows beginning at 7 p.m.
The Urban All-American Award is presented to a graduate of a CCMT school who has achieved extraordinary success in his or her personal and/or professional life. “My education at SS Peter & Paul Parish instilled in me the values of community and service to others,” says Helene. “As a Director at Lourdes College, I feel blessed to be part of a community that also values service to others.”
Central City Ministry’s Catholic elementary schools provide a life-lasting, faith-based education to 600 children in the central city, many of whom are considered “at risk.” The CCMT campuses provide clear goals and expectations, strict discipline, and strong academics in a safe and secure environment
