SALT LAKE CITY - The Mormon Tabernacle Choir was honored with the
"Laureate
of the Mother Teresa Award" Sunday for "edifying the world through
inspirational choral performances and recordings."

"This is the only choir I know that has touched the entire world with
its
beauty," said Dan Paulos, director of the St. Bernadette Institute of
Sacred
Art, which gives out the award. "There are a lot of choirs out there,
but
none so remarkable. It's a gift of God and it should be shared with the
world."

Reverend Joseph Mayo, Rector of the Cathedral of the Madeline awarded
the
Choir the honor at 10 a.m. after the Music and the Spoken Word
broadcast.
Mac Christensen, president of the choir, and Craig Jessop, music
director,
accepted the award on behalf of the Choir.

The Mother Teresa Awards were created to honor those who beautify the
world
through their unique gifts and talents. The award is a statuette of a
modernized Mother Teresa, and was created by R.S. Owens Company of
Chicago,
who produces the Oscars for the Academy Awards.

Other Laureates of the Mother Teresa Award include Pope John Paul II,
Maya
Angelou, Andrea Bocelli, President Jimmy Carter, Nelson Mandela, Elie
Wiesel
and others.

The Mormon Tabernacle Choir originated in the mid-19th century as the
first
pioneers of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints arrived in
the
Salt Lake Valley. Since then, the choir has become world-renowned
through
its many recordings, tours and weekly TV and radio broadcast, Music and
the
Spoken Word, the longest-running continuous network radio broadcast in
the
world.
