Women honored for achievement, dedication

The Archdiocesan Council of Catholic Women, Central Region, hosted its annual Woman of Achievement Mass and luncheon on Oct. 2 at Saint John the Baptist Catholic Church in Edmond. 

The event had been postponed from March 2020 due to COVID-19. The women were chosen by their parishes and honored for their years of dedication and service to both their churches and communities. 

Archbishop Coakley celebrated Mass along with Father Ray Ackerman, Father Bill Pruett, Father Tim Ruckel and Deacon Randy Hearn. Following a luncheon, the archbishop blessed and presented Our Lady of Good Counsel medals.
