Former U.S. senator George Mitchell was the honoree at our Commonweal Conversations event in New York last week, where he was presented with the Catholic in the Public Square Award. His remarks—gracious, humorous, and thoughtful—are definitely worth viewing (or reviewing, if you happened to be among us). Equally engaging was presenter Anne Anderson, Ireland’s ambassador to the United States, and the video of her remarks also appears below.
