MCC Citizen Recognition Award
Mark Dunn, an attorney and member of St. Clement of Rome Parish in Des Peres, is one of several recipients of this year’s Missouri Catholic Conference Citizen Recognition Award. A founding member of Dunn & Miller, P.C., he has built a distinguished legal career while remaining actively engaged in service to the Church and the broader community. Over the years, he has served on or advised many Catholic and civic organizations, including Our Lady’s Inn, archdiocesan Respect Life Apostolate, Catholic Charities Board of Directors Programs, Research & Quality Improvement Committee, the Knights of Columbus, Lawyers For Life, St. Vincent de Paul Society of St. Louis Ambassador Committee, The Academy of St. Louis Advisory Committee, and the St. Clement School Board and Pro-Life Committee. He also has served as a tutor and speech team coach at the Missouri School For The Blind. In 2024, he volunteered countless hours to unite a broad coalition of religious and secular organizations in defense of Missouri’s longstanding pro-life laws. He continued that leadership in 2026 by bringing together existing and new partners to support efforts to restore pro-life protections for women and children in the current Amendment 3 campaign.
Each year, the MCC recognizes a Catholic citizen, couple or group from each of the four Missouri dioceses who strive toward the same goal, giving of themselves to better the lives of others. Award recipients exemplify good citizenship in promoting Catholic values in the public policy arena and in their local communities and parishes.
