Christ Child Society Officials Announce Merrick Award Winner in South Bend
Elizabeth Barrett
At their annual Spring Luncheon on Wednesday, Mar. 29, the South Bend Chapter of the Christ Child Society presented the 2023 Mary Virginia Merrick award to Jean Fuehrmeyer, a member who went above and beyond, is a champion for children, and a role model for fellow members. Fuehrmeyer joined Christ Child in 2008 and since then has actively volunteered, served as a board member, and has been a steward of the chapter’s history and an inspiration for its future. Fuehrmeyer focused her volunteering on literacy and educational initiatives, inspired by the National Christ Child Challenging Poverty, One Child at a Time initiative. Under her leadership, the SUCCESS program at St. Adalbert Catholic School earned the 2020 National Christ Child Society Red Wagon Award for an outstanding program. The Spring Luncheon at Morris Park Country Club was preceded by Mass at St. Anthony de Padua, celebrated by Bishop Rhoades. At the luncheon, Bishop Rhoades led the prayer before meals and congratulated Fuehrmeyer on her award.
