Congratulations to Carol Moore who was honored by the Diocesan Council of Catholic Women at its annual celebration of Women of Distinction on June 13 in Springfield. She received the Our Lady of Good Counsel Award along with other women of our diocese during a Recognition Mass and luncheon with Bishop Paprocki.

Each parish is asked to name a woman who has actively lived out her Catholic faith, displayed her spirituality, and shared her time and talents in acts of service to her parish and community, as well as, supported, empowered, and educated, Catholic women in spirituality, leadership and service.

This is a good description of Carol’s service to our parish and community. Since joining the parish in 1979, Carol has given her time and talent to many ministries including the St. Vincent de Paul Society, Public School Religion (PSR), Liturgy of the Word, Women’s Day, Adoration Chapel, Christian Study Group, Pro-Life, the ABL Dinner, Faith in Action, Picnic Committee, senior parties and homebound Communion ministry.

Carol’s dedication to serving others has and continues to touch many lives in our parish and community.

Be sure and congratulate Carol for this much-deserved recognition.

And please write your good wishes and memories for Carol on the pages provided at the church doors. A memory book will be compiled for her.
