Sadlier is committed to Catholic education—not only in our publishing efforts, but in many other aspects. Each year, we recognize people for their service to Catholic education and support organizations in various ways. Here are some highlights.

Sadlier, the former Sadlier Chairman of the Board, and father of the current Chairman of the Board, deeply loved the Church and demonstrated this with his unwavering personal and professional support of Catholic schools. Since 1980, this award named for him has recognized two people each year whose outstanding leadership and achievements have advanced Catholic education or catechetical ministry.
