Archdiocese honors local Catholic laity
The Archdiocese of Chicago Friday announced that a member of St. Edna Parish in Arlington Heights was one of six people to receive its Bishop Quarter Award. It also announced a number of local winners of its much more common Christifideles Award. Both honor lay men and women for their dedication to the church and their ministries.
Margaret Moser of St. Edna, 2525 N. Arlington Heights Road, helped develop ministry of care of those who minister to the sick, homebound and those in nursing homes. She developed and supported the St. Vincent de Paul model of outreach and created the Angel Network of Prayer. She has been on the staff of St. Edna for nine years after serving on the pastoral staffs of St. James in Arlington Heights and St. Raymond in Mount Prospect.
