St. Timothy Awards are presented every spring and summer to deserving youth by parishes and schools of the Diocese of Rockford.

It is the highest recognition from the NFCYM to a teenager who:
– Lives as a disciple of Christ, setting a positive example for other youth;
– Witnesses to their faith by exhibiting Catholic morals and integrity;
