Each year, at the annual Catholic Press Association conference, the CPA issues awards to Catholic newspapers all over the country for their steadfast devotion to reporting on all matters related to the Catholic Church. We don’t like to brag, but we’re very proud of the work we’ve put in here at the Denver Catholic over the past year, and it’s nice to be recognized for it. This year, we won several awards from the CPA, including a few in first place. We thank you, our dear readers, for all your support and for helping us to be the best diocesan newspaper we can be.
