Parish Beautification Day

The WRAL Azalea Celebration awarded our parish with azaleas again this year. We don't have the numbers yet, but volunteers will pick them up on October 5. 

We need people to plant them on our Parish Campus Beautification Day on October 12.

We'll need all hands on deck to complete this project, from the prep crew to prepare the area to the planting crew. We need a cheering and support team to distribute water and snacks and do other light duties. 

Check the signup link below for specific responsibilities, and sign up for what you can do. Join us; it's our garden.

Each fall since 1985, WRAL-TV 5, MIX 101.5 WRAL-FM, and NC Beautiful sponsor the WRAL Azalea Celebration and give away more than 5,000 azaleas non-profits from all over the state. Mother Teresa Parish received 300 azaleas in 2023. The giveaway strives to "establish a continuous, well-maintained project for their community to enjoy and emulate."

Each non-profit is eligible for the A.J. Fletcher Award three years after being awarded azaleas. Named for the founder of Capitol Broadcasting Company and creator of the WRAL Gardens, the A.J. Fletcher Awards honor organizations who have best maintained their landscaping projects created with their WRAL azaleas.
