The Fr. Lawrence Boadt Memorial Medal represents the highest honor awarded
to Hartford Catholic Biblical School students and graduates, honoring an
individual whose life and ministry demonstrates the excellence in the study of Sacred Scripture and the generosity of spirit in teaching the Word of God for which Paulist Fr. Larry Boadt was so well known.
Kathi L. Bonner, CBS Class of 2011, was awarded the Boadt
medal at the Archdiocese of Hartford Office of Religious Education and Evangelization Award Ceremony last evening. In her role as Director of Religious Education at St. Catherine
of Siena in West Simsbury, Kathi has integrated in creative ways the knowledge and skills gained from her Bible studies into her catechetical ministry.

| Fr. Lawrence Boadt |
Fr. Boadt was Paulist priest and a great friend to the Hartford Catholic Biblical School. He worked closely with our students every year and led our first-year Lenten Scripture Day less than four months before his death. His writings, especially his landmark
Reading the Old Testament, showed the highest Old Testament scholarship while at the same time making the complexities of the texts accessible to the minds and hearts of ordinary folks. The Archdiocese of Hartford’s undying respect for Fr. Boadt and his work is commemorated in the annual presentation of the Fr. Lawrence Boadt Memorial Medal.
