The 2025 Ambassador Award, which is awarded to someone from the North West who has made an extraordinary impact on the world, goes, posthumously, to Sister Clare Crockett.
00:00Okay, moving on to our next award. This is very special, not only for them, but also for me, to be honoured, to be giving this award out.
00:15Can I just say at a time, when Derry was at his knees during the COVID, and we were honoured this special saint to be.
00:25We had her in every one of those, we prayed her every night. You see, the opposite from fear is faith, and when you're struggling with fear, especially when you come from a city where you read it, and the times are heartache and troubled, we turn to this beloved person for faith.
00:49So this is really a special award, and I'm very honoured to be part of the group as well.
00:55So this is the Ambassador Award, now the grand finale.
01:01The Ambassador Award is relatively new. This edition recognises someone from the Northwest, who has made an extraordinary impact on the world.
01:13And I think you will agree that our recipient, this year, is a very worthy recipient.
01:26Please welcome back Brenda McDade from the Derry Journal to represent our award.
01:31Thank you Brendan, it's an absolute honour to have you close. It's an incredible night, and this is a really important one, and we're all rooting for this award.
01:51So Brendan, I'll let you announce our 2025 Ambassador Award.
01:58Ms. Award, as you probably have worked out, goes to Sister Clare.
02:04Sister Clare!
02:05Ladies and gentlemen, watching the Sarely adjourned, Sister Clare Cup was originally named, as Sarah could go off.
02:16I was looking up there to represent her this year. A huge response across the world has demonstrated just how many knives she has touched in the most extraordinary way.
02:27This is a woman of Derry. This is a woman of Derry. The impact the Brandywil woman has had on the people of the city.
02:34This island, and well beyond, has its pre-found, and those who knew and loved her.
02:40Her devoted family, her friends, her beloved companions, and the sisters at the home of the mother, contested by, she really lived up to her motto.
02:49All or nothing, she gave it her all.
02:52Sister Clare lived a life of prayer, a service for the good of others, since her tragic death in Ecuador.
03:00Back in 2016, the devotions she displayed in her life, and the people here and across the world who dedicated their prayers and petitions to our beautiful Saint-To-Be.
03:11Sister Clare's official ceremony area this year was the first in the series of stages, which cumulant if Sister Clare would be officially declared a Saint by the Catholic Church.
03:21In the eyes of so many people, she is already our Ambassador Award this year, is dedicated to Sister Clare Rockham.
