His Eminence Timothy Michael Cardinal Dolan, Archbishop
of New York honored Susan
George, Executive Director of the Catholic Education

commitment to the students attending Catholic schools in the
Bronx.
“I
am honored to receive this award tonight,” said Susan George,
Executive Director of the Catholic Education Advancement Office
and Inner-City Scholarship Fund. “It is worth it to see these
kids getting the quality education they deserve and setting
themselves up for a bright future. There is no greater gift than
to help them succeed.”

Deli, the Original Arthur Avenue Deli and cannolis from Gino’s
Pastry Shop.
The Catholic School Regions of Northwest/South Bronx and
Northeast/East Bronx are two of nine Catholic elementary school
regions in the Archdiocese of New York. Each of the nine regions
is located within different geographic regions and is a
separate, not-for-profit, educational corporation chartered by
the New York State Department of Education. Both Bronx regions
combine to educate almost 14,000 students throughout the
borough.
