Diocesan Schools' Innovation Program Honored

Sixteen schools in the Diocese of Paterson, including St. Vincent de Paul School, in Stirling, are the recipients of the inaugural 2014 Karen M. Ristau Innovations Award. The award, sponsored by the National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA) recognizes the diocese’s STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) program.

The award, named after the past president of the NCEA, was given to an individual, school or parish program that furthered the mission of Catholic education through an innovated program or approach.
