Awards
Father George Mader Award
On November 14, 2009 Urban Ministries of Durham was recognized by the Catholic Network of Volunteer Service (CNVS) with the Father George Mader Award.
Since 1988, the award has been given to honor organizations and individuals that encourage men and women to serve others in the United States and abroad. It is named after Father George Mader of the Archdiocese of Newark, New Jersey, who in 1963, together with his sister Patricia Mader Stalker, founded what is today known as the Catholic Network of Volunteer Service. The group is a national membership organization of Christian volunteer and mission programs that fosters and promotes full-time national and international service opportunities for people of all backgrounds, ages and skills.
Urban Ministries of Durham, founded by volunteers and heavily supported by a vast network of volunteers, is extremely honored gracious for this recognition of achievement.
