John Belcastro, Sr., Sister Mary Kay Camp and Angelo Di Ianni have all left a lasting impact and legacy on the Niagara Catholic District School Board.

The trio were endorsed as the 2024 recipients during a Special Board Meeting on February 13. They will be presented with their awards at the Niagara Foundation for Catholic Education's Annual Benefit Gala at Club Roma March 21.
"I have been fortunate to have served with all three recipients of the Niagara Catholic Education Award of Distinction during my career at Niagara Catholic, and I can confidently say all three are very worthy of this honour," said Danny Di Lorenzo, Chair of the Niagara Catholic Board of Trustees. "Each played a very different leadership role within Catholic education in Niagara, and they impacted the lives of thousands and thousands of students over their years of service. Many of these young students have since gone on to do great things in their own fields of study. I believe that the legacies of John Belcastro, Sister Mary Kay Camp, and Angelo Di Ianni will be spoken about for years to come across Niagara."

Director of Education Camillo Cipriano called the contributions of our 2024 Award of Distinction recipients humbling.
"We know that we have people across Niagara Catholic, which includes our partners at local parishes and the Diocese, who have given their lives to Catholic education in Niagara in many different ways," said Mr. Cipriano. "But when you sit down and you read the things these three recipients have done to enhance and advance Catholic education here and across Ontario, it is truly humbling to know you are a part of that same system. I look forward to celebrating our honourees at the annual Benefit Gala next month."

The 2024 Niagara Catholic Education Awards of Distinction are the first awards presented in five years. The last recipients, Bill Amadio and Pat Hudak, were honoured in 2019.
