The luncheon, hosted in celebration of Catholic Charities' 85th anniversary, honored seven community leaders who have made significant contributions to the Omaha community.

This years honorees were Tessie Edwards, the Rev. Thomas Fangman, Jamie Gutierrez, Rhonda A. Hawks, Dianne Seeman Lozier and Mary and Charles Heider. Catholic Charities has a tradition of serving and advocating for more than 75,000 voiceless, hungry, addicted, abused and forgotten individuals and families annually throughout the Archdiocese of Omaha.
