WASHINGTON (CNS) -- The Archdiocese of Hartford, Conn., and the Pittsburgh and Greensburg, Pa., dioceses won multiple 2003 Proclaim honors from the U.S. bishops' Catholic Communication Campaign.

The awards were presented in mid-October in St. Louis during the assembly of the Catholic Academy for Communication Arts Professionals, formerly known as Unda-USA.
