Congratulations to Pat Shea, associate editor of the Catholic Sun, on winning first place in the Syracuse Press Club’s 37th Annual Professional Recognition Awards for Best Human Interest Feature for a non-daily newspaper. Shea’s article, “A mother’s prayer, a child’s future,” appeared in the Sun’s Feb. 13, 2014 issue. The story highlighted the journey of a young Haitian boy, Pelensky Joassin, who came to Syracuse seeking medical treatment and found a loving home with the Kreis family and a supportive community at Holy Cross Church and School.
