The hundreds of Duquesne alumni, faculty and staff, students and guests honoring the Spiritans' tireless work in the United States include Pittsburgh Bishop David Zubik; Duquesne President Ken Gormley; University and Eckert Seamans Board Chair John "Jack" McGinley; as well as members of the Holy Family Institute, St. Vincent College, Central Catholic High School, PNC, Staley Capital, Schneider Downs and the Spartan Community Center of Hazelwood.
In addition, the Spiritans will present McGinley with the Cor Unum Award, which recognizes an individual who exemplifies the charism of the Congregation. The University, in conjunction with the Spiritans, will present the inaugural Mol an Oige ("praise youthfulness" in Gaelic) Award to the Rev. Sean Hogan C.S.Sp., president of the Duquesne University Scholarship Association. Given to individuals that have spent their career working for the betterment of youth, the award recognizes Hogan's 40 years of service to Duquesne and to its students.
