2024 Peter Favre Award
John and Carolyn Hickman
St. Peter Favre was one of St. Ignatius’ closest friends, trusted for his deep understanding of the Spiritual Exercises and heart for Ignatian spirituality. Favre lived his life with open-heartedness, purity, simplicity, and humbleness. Each year, the ISC presents the Peter Favre Award to a person or persons who embody these values and inspire others to live them more fully. The ISC is proud to present the 2024 Peter Favre Award to John and Carolyn Hickman.
Carolyn and John’s devotion to Ignatian spirituality spans decades. They have played integral roles for the Ignatian Spirituality Center. Carolyn was instrumental in the ISC’s growth during her 20-year career, matching seekers with spiritual directors and leading administrative efforts. John has served on the ISC Board twice as well as the Program Council. Their service runs deep in the Ignatian community and beyond.
Beyond their many acts of ministry and service, the Hickman’s are models of humility, warm hearts, kindness, and deep faith—and truly deserving of the Peter Favre Award.
Kathy Collins spirit of service Award
Kathy collins in memoriam
Kathy Collins, our beloved sister in faith, died peacefully at home on January 19th, surrounded by her loving family.
Kathy was a shining example of giving, loving, and living. An abiding friend to the ISC and the entire Ignatian community, Kathy touched the lives of countless others and gave selflessly and joyfully in her daily life. Kathy woke each morning with the question, “Who needs love today?”
As a retreat presenter, spiritual director, Board member, Board chair, and Interim Executive Director, Kathy led with a deep commitment to the ISC mission, a passionate heart, a joy-filled faith, and a radiant smile.
To honor Kathy and her years of service, we are introducing the Kathy Collins Spirit of Service Award to be granted annually at the Hearts on Fire benefit dinner. The first award will be granted to Kathy in memoriam.
