The He Comes to Serve Award recognizes those in our community who partner with Catholic Charities in leading the way to serve those most vulnerable and in great need.  They serve in numerous ways.

Volunteerism enriches our services and makes possible many activities and resources that would not otherwise exist. Volunteers are the lifeblood of the Samaritan House and Samaritan House Women’s Shelter, with over 10,500 volunteer hours completed yearly. The Courteney Saeman Volunteer Award has been created to commend the integrity of the recipient. Courteney, who died in 2017, worked as an intern in the Family Services Program in 2013. Her joy, optimism, youth and gentle spirit brought an element of happiness to the Samaritan House as a whole.
