Kirzinger, Phaneuf recipients of Catholic Education Service Awards

Apr 10, 2020 | 1:30 PM

The Prince Albert Roman Catholic Separate School Division Board of Education announced the recipients for the 2019-2020 Catholic Education Service Award.

Louise Kirzinger and Mark Phaneuf are this year’s recipients.

Kirzinger currently works as a student support services teacher at Ecole St. Anne School. She belongs to the St. Joseph Parish and is highly involved in many forms of ministries. A news release from the school division said upon receiving the news of her award, Kirzinger shared a motto she has lived by in her professional role: “Love is patient, love is kind and there’s a reason why patience comes first.”

Phaneuf is the Principal at Ecole St. Mary and has been a long time member of the Sacred Heart Cathedral and Knights of Columbus. Like Kirzinger, Phaneuf was nominated due to significant contributions to Catholic education and their faith community.

“Although I am being recognized for my contributions, I can honestly state I feel I have personally received far more through my interactions with the school and parish communities, than I have shared. I cherish the stewardship with which I have been entrusted and am grateful to call both Prince Albert Catholic Schools and the Sacred Heart Cathedral home,” he said.
