Papal Award for a Corpus Christi Carmelite
Pope Benedict XVI has awarded Sr. Teresa-Joseph Pegus, O.Carm., of the Corpus Christi Carmelites with the the Cross Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice for distinguished service to the Church, especially in ministering to young people.
Sister Teresa-Joseph's nomination for the award was organised by friends and former colleagues at "YOI Glen Parva", a prison for young offenders near Leicester, Great Britain, where she was in ministry for many years.
As Sr. Teresa-Joseph is currently in hospital the award was conferred on her there by her parish priest on 25th October. It is hoped that a proper ceremony involving the Bishop can take place when she is well enough.
The medal Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice is the highest award the Pope can bestow upon a Religious.
