Bryan Massingale accepted the Isaac Hecker Award for Social Justice from the Paulist Center on November 13. Massingale, a Catholic priest and theological ethicist, was given the award for his work toward justice and inclusion for Black and LGBTQ people in the Catholic Church.
Previous recipients of the award include Dorothy Day, Cesar Chavez, and Helen Prejean.
In a statement, the Paulist Center said that for more than four decades Massingale had “addressed these twin bases of discrimination,” calling him a modern prophet.
