Congratulations are in order for Joseph Mascolo.

The Days of Our Lives star will be honored on April 25 by the Boys' Towns of Italy. In an event to be held at the Boca West Country Club in Boca Raton, Florida Mascolo will be deemed the charity's "Celebrity of the Year." Not a shabby honor.

The Boys' Towns of Italy is an American charity founded by the late Monsignor John Patrick Carroll-Abbing and Gov. John and Francesca Lodge. It's responsible for the development of overseas child care institutions for children of all nationalities, races and creeds.
