NYVT Media: St. Catherine’s Earns Two Awards for Excellence

ALBANY – In the past several weeks, St. Catherine’s Center for Children has been honored twice for excellence in programming.

Most recently, the New York State Parent Teacher Association recognized St. Catherine’s Lansingburgh Connects program with their Community Service Award at the Lansingburgh PTA Council’s annual Founder’s Day event. A couple of weeks prior, St. Catherine’s Access & Visitation program was awarded the Hon. Anthony V. Cardona Award by the Friends of Albany Children’s Center at its annual event.

“We are humbled by the recognition of these organizations for the work we perform on behalf of local children and families,” said St. Catherine’s Deputy Executive Director Brian Perotto. “We are so proud of our team members in both programs.

“The Lansingburgh Connects program has really taken off since its inception just two years ago and we are thrilled with the progress we have seen from the students and families enrolled in it. Our Access & Visitation team not only provides a safe environment for children and parents to spend time together, but it transforms what can be a difficult situation into a more pleasant experience in which children can continue to build a bond with non-custodial parents. Thank you to the New York State Parent Teacher Association, the Lansingburgh PTA Council and the Friends of Albany Children’s Center for this wonderful recognition.”
