Mayor Ron Washington of Covington officially declared July 4, 2025, as Father Daniel Schomaker Day in the City of Covington. The official act serves to honor the legacy and lasting impact Father Schomaker leaves behind at St. Augustine Parish, Covington, reading, “​Many in the community consider St. Augustine campus to be an anchor of the neighborhood and would like to recognize Fr. Schomaker’s efforts to enhance the community through his incredible stewardship while assigned to St. Augustine parish.”

The recognition comes after several Covington community members and St. Augustine parishioners wrote into the mayor’s office nominating Father Schomaker for the award.
