Labouré Spring Reception

Catholic Charities Boston’s annual Labouré Spring Reception is a longstanding tradition in the South Boston community which raises money for the Labouré Center’s vital programs. Each year, an individual or group who has shown exceptional dedication and service to the Labouré Center and the Boston community is presented with the Jack Shaughnessy Service Award, established in memory of the late well-known Catholic philanthropist, Jack Shaughnessy.

Catholic Charities Spring Celebration

Since 2007, Catholic Charities Boston’s annual Spring Celebration Gala has raised essential funds for the agency’s areas of greatest need and served as an opportunity to highlight individuals who exemplify Catholic Charities’ values of charity, compassion, and service with the John and Virginia Kaneb Justice and Compassion Award. The Justice and Compassion award is named after the late John Kaneb, a beloved former Catholic Charities Boston Board member, and his wife, Virginia, to commemorate their decades of generous support of the agency.
