The St. Anne Medal for adults working with Catholic members of national organizations serving girls is an award of the Department of Education, USCCB. It was inaugurated at the Sixth National Conference on Catholic Youth Work in Philadelphia in November 1957 and it was redesigned in 1980. It is offered to those dioceses which choose to use it, subject to the approval of the local ordinary. It is the highest national award in this field. The purpose of the award is to honor the outstanding service of adults contributing to the spiritual development of Catholic members of organizations for girls and to further Catholic adult leadership in youth ministry through those organizations.
