Mrs. Frances Parkinson Keyes
Awarded Siena Medal for 1946
(N. C. W. C. News Service)
SWAMPSCOTT, Mass. — Mrs.
Frances Parkinson Keyes, widely
known novelist and convert to the
Catholic Faith, today was award
ed the Theta Phi Alpha Siena
Modal for 1946.
The award, presented at a cere
mony here in connection with the
16th annual convention of Theta
Phi Alpha, national sorority for
Catholic college women, is made
annually to a Catholic womefl
who has made a distinctive contri
bution to Catholic life in the
United States. The face of the
medal bears the motto of St.
Catherine of Siena. “Nothing
great is ever done without much
enduring,” over the . Theta Phi
Alpha crest.
In the absence of Mrs. Keyes,
who is now in Europe at work on
a new novel, the medal was re
ceived in her behalf by Miss Dor
othy Bryant of New York, who as
juvenile editor of Dodd, Mead &c
Co., had urged on the convert-
author the writing of her latest
book, soon to be published.
Of a New England family but
born in Virginia, Mrs. Keyes in
her novels has portrayed Ameri
can life to such effect that her
works have been translated into
six languages, besides being wide
ly read in English-speaking coun
tries. In addition to some 15
novels, she is the author of wide
ly read lives of St. Bernadette of
Lourdes (“Th« Sublime Shep
herdess”) and St. There.se of Lis-
ieux (“Written in Heaven”), and
other works.
Mrs. Keyes was educated in
schools in the United States,
Switzerland and Germany, and
has received honorary degrees
from George Washington Univer
sity in 1921 and Bates College in
1934. She was married to the late
Henry Wilder Keyes, former Gov
ernor of New Hampshire and
United States Senator, and is the
mother of three children. She
was received into the Catholic
Church in 1939, at the age of 54.
The Siena award was establish
ed in 1937, the 25th anniversary
of the founding of Theta Phi
Alpha, as a means of paying hom
age to St. Catherine of Siena,
patroness, and was awarded that
year to the late Miss Agnes Re
gan, then Executive Secretary of
the National Council of Catholic
Women. In subsequent years it
was presented to Miss Mary Mer
rick, president and founder of
the Christ Child Society; Miss
Agnes Repplier, writer and essay
ist; Miss Jane Hoey, of the Fed
eral Social Security Board; Mrs.
Anne O’Hare McCormick, jour
nalist; Miss Anne Sarachon Hool-
ey, director of Women’s Division,
National Catholic Community
Service; Mother M. Katherine
Drexel, founder of the Sisters of
the Blessed Sacrament; Dr. Helen
C. White, author and educator,
and in 1945 to Mrs. Thomas Sulli
van. of Waterloo, Iowa.
