CLEMMONS — Holy Family Parish recently presented its inaugural St. Teresa of Calcutta Award to parishioner Carole Scagneli. She is the first recipient of the parish award, awarded to a parishioner who follows in the footsteps of Mother Teresa.
Holy Family plans to name a recipient each year in December.
Scagneli has demonstrated an outpouring of service and charity to Holy Family Parish and the surrounding community, performing “small things with great love,” as Mother Teresa said.
For many years, her dedication to each and every program has been exemplary. Scagneli has assisted Holy Family in a myriad of ways, including as parish council member, Mass coordinator leader and cemetery committee member.
She helped with the cleaning and making of altar linens; formed and headed the Arimathean ministry; served on the committee for the Curlin Center renovation with specific responsibility of selecting the pews, altar and furnishings of the new chapel; initiated and organized the Thursday Eucharistic Adoration program; and assisted with the formation and ministry for the parish’s outreach program for Cameroon.
