Neckerchiefs are purchased at the BOR.  Medals are presented (typically by an auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Chicago) at the Cathedral Ceremony held at Holy Name Cathedral in downtown Chicago.  The ceremony will be in person on Sunday afternoon, January 26, 2025.  

The Chicago Catholic Committee hopes to have an online payment option to allow paying by credit card for medal sets and neckerchiefs, using the committee’s Zeffy online account.  After you sign up for a board of review and provide your email address, the committee hopes to email a link for those wishing to use credit card payment a few weeks before the board of review date.
