Parishioners from across the diocese gathered Aug. 19 at the Faithful Stewards Awards to celebrate individuals and parishes that go above and beyond in their service.
Sacred Heart, Raywood, took home the Bishop Curtis Guillory Parish Award for making the biggest strides in stewardship during 2011.
The recipients of the Msgr. Richard DeStefano Faithful Steward Award were Rhonda Dismukes of St. Mary, Fannett, Anita Durham of St. Anne, Beaumont and Cyndi and Paul Montes of Our Lady of the Assumption, Beaumont.
The Diocesan Stewardship Council Award, an award given for an extraordinary act of stewardship, was presented to the deacons and their wives of the Diocese of Beaumont for all the work they have done over the years.
The awards and reception were held at St. Mary, Fannett.
