We are honored to celebrate Eileen Irgens, recipient of the 2026 Lifetime Achievement Award, in recognition of her many years of dedicated service to our Council of Catholic Women (CCW), St. Alphonsus parish, and the wider community. A longstanding CCW member and former catechist, Eileen supports all initiatives of our parish’s Faith Formation Program, including Vacation Bible School, and readily lends a hand wherever the program has a need. She also serves as a Eucharistic minister, lector, and co-chair of the St. Alphonsus Annual Christmas Bazaar. Her care for others extends beyond the church doors as she visits members and friends who are physically unable to attend Mass, and brings Holy Communion to their homes. Through these and countless other acts of service, Eileen shares her faith with generosity and compassion. Thank you, Eileen, for your loving presence and the many ways you continue to bless our parish and community. Congratulations on this well-deserved honor recognition!
