Father Antonio Maria Speedy, pastor of Holy Family Church parish in Grand Caillou, has been recognized as missionary of the year by Commissioned By Christ (CBC), who recently awarded him the 2020 Bishop Paul S. Loverde Missionary of the Year Award for Selfless Service. CBC is a Catholic lay organization based in Arlington, VA, that supports missionary ministry. The organization’s mission is to bring Catholics closer to Christ through short-term mission trips that form them through personal and communal prayer, participation in the sacraments, building community with fellow Christians, and providing an opportunity to partake in works of mercy by helping those in material and spiritual need.
