The 2006 Cardinal's Award Dinner will be held Saturday, Feb. 4, at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, honoring five men and women who have long and distinguished records of service in the local church and community. (Last week's issue of The Tidings posted the incorrect date.)

Being honored this year are Deacon Hosea Alexander, Mary Pat Cooper, Fran Curry, Clyde Von der Ahe and William Wardlaw. The 2006 honorees bring to 84 the number of men and women honored with the award.

The beneficiary for this year's dinner will be Sagrado Corazon Church in Cudahy (in the San Pedro Region), which plans to build a new and larger church. Since 1990, funds raised from the Cardinal's Award Dinner have supported programs, agencies and relief efforts in all pastoral regions of the archdiocese.
