1999 The Major Stewards Award of Holy Cross was presented by the Congregation of Holy Cross Indiana Province Priests to Dorene and Jerry Hammes for their strong and loyal support of the Cross of Hope and Living Faith Campaigns. Fr. Dorwart presented Fr. J. Lauck's "Visitation" sculpture to Dorene and Jerry recognizing them as Major Stewards of Holy Cross. The full size sculpture graces the entrance at the Hammes Bookstore. The Province founded the University of Notre Dame in 1842.
