Father William WOESTMAN, OMI, presently Associate Vicar for Canonical
Affairs in the Archdiocese of Chicago, received the Canon Law Society of
America's “Role of Law” award at its annual convention held in Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania, October 11-14.
This award is granted in recognition of the quality of his research and
writings, of his many years as a professor of Canon Law at Saint Paul
University in Ottawa, and for his sense of duty. In his reply, Fr Woestman
spoke of the role of Justice in the Church, as derived from addresses of
recent Popes, and of the role of Judges in applying justice.
Prolonged applause by the 500 bishops and canonists in attendance was an
indication of the esteem of his colleagues in this field. This is the
highest award granted by the Canon Law Society of America.
