Established in 2015, the award aims to celebrate and honour local women who demonstrate exceptional leadership within our Diocese and embody the spirit of Mary Magdalene. 

This Award is being relaunched this year, after last being presented in 2020, to coincide with the Feast Day of Mary Magdalene.
