Marge Traver receives community service award

Marge Traver was the recipient of the 2017 Community Service Award from the St. Pius X Catholic United Financial Council.
Traver received the award at the council’s annual Christmas gathering on Dec. 2, 2017. Her children and their families surprised her at the award ceremony.
The citation of the award noted Traver’s untiring service to the community as an extraordinary minister of Holy Communion to the homebound, a prayer listener in the faith formation program, a money counter for each week’s collection from the Mass in Spanish and a leader of the rosary at long-term care.
Traver also was a long-term volunteer in the hot lunch program of St. Pius X School. Her work is often hidden behind the scenes and not in front of a lot of people, but her quiet faith, generous spirit and gentle witness are an example to the parish and community. The CUF recognizes Traver’s work and encourages everyone to congratulate her on the occasion of this well-deserved honor.
