Sr. Remy Schaul Service Award

On Sunday, January 31st, the St. Juliana School Board presented the Sr. Remy Schaul Service Award to Todd and Melody Steffen in recognition of their many hours of volunteer work for St. Juliana Parish and School.

The Sr. Remy Schaul Service Award was created in memory of the former St. Juliana School teacher and principal who devoted many years of her life to service in the St. Juliana Parish Community. She led a life that was exemplary in generosity and charity. Her dedication to the children of St. Juliana was unwavering as she continued working as a volunteer teacher after her retirement and even as she waged a personal battle with cancer.

This year’s recipients of the Sr. Remy Schaul Service Award, Todd and Melody Steffen, are themselves graduates of St. Juliana School and are currently the parents of 3 children who attend St. Juliana School. They have been tireless workers in many different aspects of school and parish life and most currently have been leaders in the major parish fund-raising event, The Blacktop Ball.

The Sr. Remy Schaul Award plaque includes words from the famous prayer of St. Francis, “It is in giving that we receive”, a favorite prayer of Sr. Remy. These words clearly have meaning for the Steffens because of their great spirit of giving many others receive benefits
