Catholic San Francisco magazine received 16 awards from the Catholic Media Association during its annual conference held June 16–19 in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The awards recognized excellence in journalism, photography, and design.

The winning entries reflected a broad range of coverage including parish life, Catholic education, vocations, charitable outreach, archdiocesan ministries, informative features on AI, and new sustainable options for Catholic burials.

While the awards recognized the storytellers, they reflect collaboration with parishes, schools, and ministries to share the many ways God is working in the local Church.

“The Catholic Media Association awards are a recognition of the vibrant faith communities we are privileged to serve and cover,” said Peter Marlow, executive director of communications for the Archdiocese of San Francisco and editor of Catholic San Francisco magazine. “Every story begins with a parish, school, ministry or individual who is living the Gospel in a significant way. We are grateful for the opportunity to share those stories with our readers.”

According to its website, “the Catholic Media Awards honor outstanding achievements in Catholic journalism, communications and other forms of digital media. This annual competition encourages media professionals to continually strive for the highest standards of faith-centered storytelling and communications, promoting a culture of excellence in media that serves the Church in its mission to spread truth and hope.”
