When asked about Weber’s multiple awards this year for Enough as You Are, Loyola Press President and Publisher Joellyn Cicciarelli says, “Peggy provides a rare combination of authenticity, humor, and relatability—she articulates what women are truly feeling, and she has a way to help. This book is filled with wisdom that provides a spiritual pathway to love for God and self.”

The Catholic Press Association sponsors various award programs that honor works that inform and promote the mission of the Church. Earlier this year, Loyola Press blogs, websites, and social media campaigns were recognized by the Catholic Press Association in its Gabriel Awards program.
