Awards
Sister of St. Ann
Art Therrien
On behalf of the Catholic Independent Schools of the Nelson Diocese Board of Directors, it is my privilege to nominate Mr. Art Therrien for the Sisters of St. Ann Award, in recognition of his distinguished and sustained contributions to Catholic education across the Province of British Columbia.
For more than three decades, Art has served Catholic schools with unwavering commitment and exceptional leadership in three dioceses: the Archdiocese of Vancouver, the Diocese of Victoria, and the Diocese of Nelson. Across each role, he has worked tirelessly to advance the mission of Catholic education — forming students in faith, strengthening school systems, and supporting the Church’s ministry of evangelization.
