Diocese of Rochester Catholics honored for work to affirm life

From Catholic Courier (www.catholiccourier.com)

Earning a prestigious diocesan award certainly hasn’t gone to Dennis Osika’s head.

“I felt totally surprised and totally humbled, and greatly honored,” Osika remarked to the Catholic Courier, recalling that upon learning he was a Vita Award recipient, “I asked myself, ‘Why me? I know a lot of great Catholics.’”

Two of those Catholics, Mary Camobreco and Judith Kiehl, joined Osika Oct. 6 at Sacred Heart Cathedral. The trio was honored during the annual Respect Life Mass — held on Respect Life Sunday — with Bishop Salvatore R. Matano serving as celebrant. The bishop presented a Vita Award to each recipient, in front of a nearly full cathedral, just before the end of Mass.
