St. Charles Borromeo Seminary announced Nov. 13 that Monsignor Francis W. Beach will be honored with the St. Charles Borromeo Award at the 2027 Gala Award Dinner, scheduled for April 21, 2027. The venue will be announced later.
Monsignor Beach is recognized for decades of support for the seminary, including his leadership as Episcopal Vicar, Pastor, and the Archbishop’s Delegate for Stewardship and Development. He helped found the Catholic Foundation of Greater Philadelphia and contributed to fundraising for the seminary’s new Gwynedd Valley campus.
“His leadership and generosity have strengthened our seminary and inspired countless others,” said Archbishop Nelson J. Pérez.
St. Charles Borromeo Seminary Rector Father T. Christopher Redcay added, “Monsignor Beach has been a true champion of our seminary and the future of our Church.”
The St. Charles Borromeo Award is given bi-annually to individuals who demonstrate humility, service, and dedication to the Church.
