The CWR Communicator Awards recognize the important role that communicators play in advancing the understanding and mission of women religious.

The judges for this year’s awards program are former Religious Formation Conference Executive Director Ellen Dauwer, SC; former CWR Board Chair Julie Gilberto-Brady; and Fr. Larry Rice, CSP, of St. John XXIII Parish in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Awards are presented each fall at the annual CWR conference, a unique professional education and networking opportunity tailored specifically to meet the needs of professionals who work on behalf of women religious. Registration is currently open for this year’s 30th annual conference in Chicago, which will be held October 8–11 with the theme “Navigating the Winds of Change.”
