Archbishop Weisenburger presented Thomas Van Dusen with a medal and formal proclamation of a papal award honoring him as a Knight of the Order of St. Sylvester in recognition of his years of faithful service to the Church in the Archdiocese of Detroit. Van Dusen is one of eight local individuals who were given papal honors by the late Pope Francis after being recommended by Archbishop-emeritus Allen H. Vigneron prior to the archbishop's retirement in March. The individuals were honored during a ceremony with Archbishop Weisenburger and Archbishop-emeritus Vigneron at Sacred Heart Major Seminary in September.
