agree  Leonardo Marcello Pignataro (X): 10 e lode!"Fortitudo" (both moral & pshisical) and "per fidelitatem" ("fides" might recall the late absolute meaning of "religious faith") may be better. "per pietatem" could be another option for "through loyalty (both civil and religious) and family" .

agree  Umberto Cassano: with Leonardo Marcello 'per l'elegante variatio' or elegant variation as Geoffrey Leech puts it in his all-time classical "Style in fiction". Your daughter is a bright promise, though. I might ask her some questions about her learning style. Ciao :-)

neutral  Joseph Brazauskas: In classical Latin at least, one does not close a series in this manner (i,e., with 'et' connecting only the last two elements). One may say 'per honorem et fidem et familiam' or 'per honorem fidem familiam' or even 'per honorem (et) fidem familiamque'.
