Distinguished Alumni Award Program

LSTC’s Distinguished Alumni Awards celebrate graduates of LSTC and its legacy institutions whose leadership, service, and witness enrich the church and the world.

Beginning in 2027, the awards will follow a two-year rotation, with four categories recognized each year. This approach offers an opportunity to highlight the breadth of alumni ministry and share the stories of those making a difference in their communities. The Lifetime Achievement Award will continue to be offered annually.

2027 Award Categories

Nominations for the 2027 Distinguished Alumni Awards will be accepted in the following categories:

• Called to Lead
• Excellence in Parish Ministry
• Witness to the World
• Lifetime Achievement

In 2028, the categories will be Emerging Voice, Specialized Ministry, Faithful Servant, and Lifetime Achievement. The two-year rotation will continue in subsequent years.

The 2027 awards will be presented on May 14, 2027, followed by a celebration at the Baccalaureate and Graduating Students’ Reception.

Who has inspired you through their ministry, leadership, or service? Help us recognize an LSTC or legacy institution graduate whose work deserves to be celebrated.

Nominations open November 11, 2026, and close January 15, 2027.
