About the Berrigan‑McAlister Award
The award honors individuals whose commitment to gospel nonviolence resists injustice, transforms conflict, fosters reconciliation, and seeks justice and peace for all. It is named in honor of Daniel Berrigan, SJ (Pax Christi USA 1989 Teacher of Peace) and Philip Berrigan and Elizabeth McAlister (Pax Christi USA 2021 Teachers of Peace, along with Fr. Louis Vitale, OFM.)
This event is organized by the Department of Catholic Studies and sponsored by the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences, Center for World Catholicism & Intercultural Theology (CWCIT), Peace, Justice, and Conflict Studies, the Division of Mission & Ministry, and University Libraries.
