I was extremely pleased to find this article:
"Cardinal Burke invested von Hildebrand as a Dame Grand Cross of the
Pontifical Order of St. Gregory the Great, an honor Pope Francis
bestowed on her Sept. 19. The investiture took place during a dinner at A
CLUB in midtown Manhattan. The affair marked von Hildebrand’s 90th
birthday and was held by the Dietrich von Hildebrand Legacy Project,
which seeks to disseminate the work of the German Catholic philosopher
of the same name. Since Von Hildebrand's death in 1977, Alice von
Hildebrand has devoted her life and work to promoting his thought.
Cardinal
Burke, prefect of the Vatican Signatura – the highest judicial body in
the Church – said in a keynote address that both Dietrich von
Hildebrand, a professor at Fordham University, and his wife, who taught
philosophy for 37 years at Hunter College in New York, faithfully
carried out the role of Catholic educators in engendering in students
the “listening heart” that leads one to the fullness of truth in the
Catholic faith."
