Mutual Security Credit Union was honored to receive the 2022 Father Cascia Service Award, presented by the St. Vincent DePaul Mission of Waterbury, for our remarkable dedication to uplifting the community. The community enjoyed a fun-filled evening of dinner, music, and a silent auction to commemorate the awards on Thursday, September 22nd.
The Father Cascia Service Award, which is presented at the Mission’s annual banquet, recognizes certain individuals and organizations that have served those in need within Connecticut’s Greater Waterbury area. It is through their dedication of exceptional and consistent volunteerism over a significant period of time, that exemplifies the spirit of the Mission’s founder, Father Philip Cascia.
