Deacon Stan Zawacki Memorial Diaconal Service Award

Please note: Nominations for the Stan Zawacki award are accepted through January 30th of each year.

The award is for a person(s) who has exemplified a ministry(s) in a diaconal sense of service. This can be a lay person, clergy or religious. It is not primarily an award for deacons or wives but those who have, by living lives that preach the Gospel, ministered as deacons, ministered to deacons, supported the diaconal community, or, in other ways, have contributed extraordinarily to the awareness of, ministry of or to, or emulation of the office of deacon.

When nominating someone for the Stan Zawacki Award - be sure to include Who, Why, and a brief description of the achievement (s) for which you are making the nomination. Once an individual is nominated, their name remains in the selection pool.

The pool is not started anew each year. The more members nominate an individual the larger becomes that person's nomination resume.

Send the nomination via e-mail to the SSDCA Vice-President "lastnamefirstintial@SSDCA.org" (VP name is at Board Member Names)

Did you know?... The logo you see displayed on each of this site's web pages as well as displayed at other SSDCA sponsored events was designed by Deacon Stan Zawacki's daughter within days of her fathers return to the Lord! The community respected Deacon Stan so much that not only did they develop this award, but they also adopted this design as its logo.
