The 2013 Black Catholic Ministry Commission Scholarship Winners are Caitlin Mensah (St. Michael the Archangel graduate) and Chloe Georges (Our Lady Star of the Sea graduate). The annual Afternoon of Jazz events each February raise money to fund these scholarships for black Catholic students entering Catholic high schools in the fall. Caitlin will be attending Holy Spirit High School, Absecon, and Chloe will be attending Paul VI, Haddon Township, in the fall.
