Teach me, O Lord, the way of thy statutes; and I will keep it to the end.
Give me understanding, that I may keep thy law
and observe it with my whole heart.
Psalm 119:33-34

The Monsignor Malloy Lifetime Achievement Award, presented annually by the Catholic Lawyers Society of Metropolitan Detroit, recognizes Catholic judges and lawyers whose service and character exemplify and advance the highest values of both the Catholic faith and the legal profession. The award is named for Monsignor Charles J. Malloy, a longtime canonical lawyer for the Archdiocese of Detroit and the Society's first spiritual director.
