Sharon Begnaud, from the Diocese of Beaumont, has been nominated for Catholic Extension’s 2015 Lumen Christi Award in connection with her work for the Giving Fields at St. Anne Parish/School Beaumont.
Now in its 38th year, the Lumen Christi award is presented to a woman religious, priest, lay person or group whose service spreads the light of Christ and transforms lives in their community and beyond. Both the nominating diocese AND recipient of the Lumen Christi Award will receive a $25,000 grant, for a total of $50,000 to fund their ministries.
