The Spirit of Hecker Awards honor exemplary individuals and groups who accompany us in mission and embody the spirit of our founder, Servant of God Isaac Hecker.

The theme of this year’s program is “Advancing God’s Mission Through Our Charism and Community.”

You can watch the program on our website, Facebook page and YouTube channel. You will hear Paulists from some of the parishes, centers, and ministries that we serve explain how their awardees are inspired by the Paulist charism to discern the movement of the Holy Spirit within themselves — all while helping to build up their local communities, the greater Paulist family, and the universal Church.
