The 60th Medallion Ball was held Nov. 24 at the Wyndham Grand Pittsburgh hotel.

Bishop William Waltersheid honored 95 young women with the Joan of Arc medallion for completing a total of 17,474 volunteer hours.

They join more than 5,500 others, now spanning four generations, who have given over 1.5 million volunteer hours to their communities. Together, their work has helped to raise $4.6 million.
