Ms. Ciarrone states that, "Rachel Horvath is an outstanding young woman of incredible spiritual maturity." She is bold in her faith, and is not ashamed of it. She is a real example of what it means to live the Gospel: she is gentle and calm, yet the joy of the Lord is evident in her and she radiates it to everyone around her. She cultivates a relationship with Christ rooted firmly in prayer and the sacraments and daily strives to walk close to Him. To be very honest, Rachel inspires her. In her, she finds hope for the future of the Church, and she has learned much from Rachel's grace, wisdom and sincerity. She is honored to nominate her for this award.
We congratulate, Rachel Horvath as the Pillar of Faith Award winner at the junior level.
