Named in honor of retired Father John Grace, O.S.A., the scholarship will be awarded to a first-year seminarian, who will receive $500 for each of his four years of theology studies.
The 2024-2025 scholarship will be presented to Michael Sibal during the Knights’ Priest and Religious Appreciation Dinner on Friday, Oct. 11, at St. Pius X Parish in Chula Vista.
Sibal, 34, was born in Alameda and grew up in San Diego. He is a member of St. Michael’s Parish in Paradise Hills. For the last three years, he has studied Philosophy with the Marian Fathers at Franciscan University in Steubenville, Ohio. He was recently accepted as a seminarian for the Diocese of San Diego.
