(KAIR)--The 2016 Fidelis Award recipient has been selected.

Chosen for the annual honor, bestowed by Atchison's Maur Hill-Mount Academy, is

Atchison resident Roberta Wolters.

According to a post on the Maur Hill-Mount Academy Facebook page, Phil Baniewicz, president of the private Catholic high school, surprised Wolters with the news of her selection during a visit to her home on Christmas day.

It was inside a package Baniewicz gave to Wolters that she found a letter congratulating her on being selected.

Her family was there to witness her surprise, including her five daughters, who are alums of the school.

Wolters will receive recognition during the League of St. Maur Dinner to be held in Kansas City on September 17th. Her late husband, Phil Wolters, a 1947 graduate of the school, will also be posthumously honored with the Fidelis Award, which was created in 1991 to recognize chosen alumni, benefactors and friends of the school who have made significant contributions.
