2019 HONOREES
Sister Helen Prejean, CSJ
Catholic Theological Union is honored to bestow this, our highest honor to Sr. Helen Prejean, CSJ, who has worked for over 30 years to spark meaningful and necessary dialogue about the abolition of the death penalty. In addition to organizing execution vigils and marches to draw attention to the issue, Sr. Helen founded a support group for victims’ family members, and eventually wrote the book, Dead Man Walking: An Eyewitness Account of the Death Penalty in the United States. Read Sr. Helen Prejean's Citation.
Rev. John J. Wall
Catholic Theological Union is honored to bestow our annual Diakonia Award to Rev. John J. Wall, who represents an exceptional model of “pastor” to the Church here in Chicago and across the country. His leadership in the Archdiocese and with Catholic Extension has been a gift to Catholics everywhere, and there are few priests in the nation who have made such a breadth and depth of impact on the worldwide Church.
