Grand Rapids DCCW (Grand Rapids, MI)

Mahdere Bekele • February 20, 2025

The Grand Rapids DCCW held its inaugural Golden Rose Award ceremony on Sunday, February 16th. We were hoping for 8 applicants but we actually received 16! We were very delighted that 12 young ladies were able to attend the event.  With a monetary donation from a local foundation, we were able to give the girls each a $125 voucher to use to attend our 2025 Province Convention, which will take place in Grand Rapids this April: REJOICING IN GLORIOUS HOPE. Participants also received a Golden Rose, Our Lady of Good Counsel Pin, a certificate, and a check for $100 from their home parish.

We were thrilled with event and are hoping much fruit will come of it.
