Warm Hearts, Deep Faith

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 was 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.
