Each year, the Archdiocese of Chicago grants two kinds of awards to lay men and women for their dedication to the church and their ministries. These awards are the Bishop Quarter and Christifidelis Award. The Christifideles Award is given to Catholic laypeople who have, by participating in parish life, demonstrated the personal and ministerial renewal called for by the papal exhortation Christifideles Laici, calling the laity to the “vocation of responsibility for the church’s life springing from the gift and mission of their baptism”. On October 17th at Holy Name Cathedral, our own Kathleen Mullaney and Pat Carew were the St. Giles recipients of the Christifidelis Award. Their two children, Maria and Brendan, along with Pat’s mom were present for this achievement.
