“We are incredibly grateful for the selfless dedication that Joe and Lucy have shown,” said Archbishop Paul Etienne. “Their unwavering support of Fulcrum and Catholic education has made a remarkable impact. They truly embody the spirit of love and service to others, and we are honored to recognize them with this award.”
This prestigious honor recognizes individuals whose lives reflect an extraordinary commitment to Catholic education, faithful service to the Church, and enduring leadership rooted in generosity and humility. Joe and Lucy embody these values in every sense.
Joe and Lucy are steadfast champions of Catholic schools, investing not only financial resources but also their time, wisdom, and hearts in the formation of young people across our community.

Through their quiet leadership and unwavering faith, Joe and Lucy have modeled what it means to serve with purpose and conviction. Their impact reaches far beyond individual schools; it is felt across generations and throughout the Catholic school community of Western Washington.
We are honored to celebrate Joe and Lucy’s remarkable legacy and grateful for the example they set for all who believe in the mission of Catholic education.
