We are delighted to devote this current News Brief to the 26th annual Bishop Dingman Award Celebration, in which we were so pleased to honor two very special women: Sister Elaine Hagedorn and Sister Jeanie Hagedorn.

Thanks to Rodger Routh's videotaping, you'll also be able to see and hear from the Sisters and from Bishop Keneetha Bigham-Tsai, the keynote speaker for the evening

We are truly excited about this year's Bishop Maurice Dingman Peace Award. Open our News Brief to learn about the special event and the opportunity we have to honor Sister Elaine and Sister Jeanie Hagedorn.

Thanks to Fr. David Polich, we have a brief glimpse into the history of the Catholic Peace Ministry and the Bishop Dingman Award.

We finish up this News Brief with an introduction to a policy about which you likely know little: the Pentagon Unfunded Priorities List (UPL). Though Congress mandates it, it is generally not lifted into public discourse.
