Katolikus Karitász honors 35 volunteers with Caritas Hungarica award on October 3

Katolikus Karitász presented the Caritas Hungarica award to 35 volunteers during a ceremony in Budapest on October 3. The awards recognize individuals who have provided long-term service to families, elderly people, the sick, and lonely individuals across the country.

The ceremony at the Budai Ciszterci Szent Imre-templom began with a thanksgiving Mass. During the service, Bishop Szabolcs Benedek Fekete spoke about the mission of the charity, comparing those who help others to Simon, who shared the burden of carrying the cross.

Three volunteers from the Diocese of Debrecen-Nyíregyháza received the award: Enikő Csernyus from the Nyíregyházi Szent Imre Karitászcsoport, Csordás Istvánné from the Ófehértói Szent Erzsébet Karitászcsoport, and Györgyfiné Kulcsár Zita from the Berettyóújfalui Szent Angéla Karitászcsoport. These volunteers support people facing poverty, disability, addiction, or homelessness through community programs and donation drives.
