At the annual Breakfast of Champions Breakfast on May 24, the Diocese of Bridgeport recognized Immaculate High School seniors Sean Fahey (Danbury), Diana Kirkman (Sandy Hook), Kayla Lanza (New Milford), Danielle Marcone (Bethel), Christian Morris (Danbury) and Jillian Pruner (Bethel) for their academics, athletic achievement and above all striving to live a lifestyle that exemplifies good citizenship, commitment and community service.
Jillian received the St. Thomas Aquinas Award. The St. Thomas Aquinas award is presented to students in their last year of elementary or high school who have demonstrated academic accomplishment and also "exemplify the Gospel Values we are called to in our Catholic faith through service to others and Christ-like behavior." The St. Sebastian Award was awarded to Diana and Danielle for girls cross country, to Kayla for girls soccer and to Sean and Christian for boys indoor track. The St. Sebastian Award is awarded to high school seniors who have not only achieved academic distinction but have shown leadership as the captain of an athletic team that won at the State level during this academic year.
