“Receiving this award from Berks Catholic is a tremendous honor,” said Moore. “My years as a student, parent and volunteer at Holy Name and Berks Catholic have had a lasting impact on my life. I’m grateful to be able to give back to a community and a school that helped shape me, our children, and generations of students, both personally and professionally.”
