This past Saturday, I was excited and humbled to receive the Damen Award (named after Fr. Arnold Damen, S.J. on behalf of the Institute for Pastoral Studies of Loyola University of Chicago at the Founder’s Dinner at the Lake Shore campus. It was a memorable evening and I was thrilled to have, not only my family with me, but also a table of Loyola Press friends/colleagues! It’s nice to be “eulogized” while you’re still around to hear it!
