Donohue, Cardinal Francis George, Dr. Robert George, Mother Assumpta Long, Archbishop William Lori, Patrick Madrid, Bishop John Nienstedt, Cardinal Edwin O'Brien, Bishop David O'Connell, Bishop Kevin Rhoades, Bishop David Ricken, Rev. George Rutler, Bishop Michael Sheridan, and Bishop David Zubik.

All Honorary Dinner Committee members have sent notes of congratulations and praise to the College.

Committee member Archbishop William E. Lori of the Archdiocese of Baltimore, says:

[Christendom College] continues to guide young people at a critical juncture in their lives to strengthen their relationship with Christ through the sacraments and prayer, to grow in virtue, and to develop a deeper understanding of all that the Church believes and teaches.

Committee member Francis Cardinal George, Archbishop of Chicago, says:

Since its founding in 1977, Christendom College has sought to be an example in Catholic higher education through fidelity to the Magisterium and intellectual tradition of the Church. In addition to providing students with the academic skills to become capable professionals, Christendom College also strives to offer its students the opportunity to grow in their love for Christ. I am grateful for the mission of Christendom College and for the blessing that its graduates are to our communities as well as to the universal Church. As we celebrate the Year of Faith, we give thanks to God for the dedication of those who teach, administer, and study at Christendom College, contributing to the important work of the New Evangelization.
