Join the President of The Catholic University of America, its Board of Regents and the eight Cardinals in the United States for this premier event. The day begins with an afternoon Mass concelebrated by the Cardinals. Festivities continue that evening at the Chicago Hilton and Towers with a black-tie dinner, entertainment and the presentation of the American Cardinals Encouragement Award. Catholic University was founded by the United States Bishops as the national university of the Church in America. Its mission is to educate students using strong academics, faith-based values and outstanding faculty.
Higher education requires significant financial resources.
Few can attend universities without financial aid. Funds raised at the American Cardinals Dinner benefit academically qualified students from across the country who want to experience education in the Catholic tradition. This year's dinner will provide much-needed assistance. Please help to support prospective Catholic University students by attending the American Cardinals Dinner. Special sponsorship opportunities available.
