The Paulist Fathers invite you and your loved ones to join us
for the 2nd Annual “Spirit of Hecker Awards.”
The program was recorded and can be seen here or at paulist.org/HeckerAwards,
or on the Paulist Facebook page or YouTube channel.
Congratulations Carla DeSola
who won Newman Hall’s Spirit of Hecker Award!
If you would just like to see our presentation to Carla DeSola,
just go to timestamp 53:29 into the program.
Congratulations also to raffle winners: parishioner, Gary (Berkeley)
and to Mike & Colleen (Austin), who tune into our live stream from Texas.
The “Spirit of Hecker” Award is named after our founder, Servant of God Isaac Hecker. It will be presented to an individual from each of the parishes and centers that we serve, as well as to an individual involved with each of our national ministries.
Awardees are selected for their extraordinary dedication to the Paulist mission to go beyond the walls of the Church to share the Good News of Jesus Christ. They readily share their strong belief that the Holy Spirit is at work in people, the Church, and the world.
For Newman Hall-Holy Spirit Parish, we are awarding the Spirit of Hecker Award to Carla de Sola. For those who know her, she is an obvious choice. For those who do not know her, tune into the online award ceremony for a short testimony by the pastor.
Our online program also will include a salute to our senior Paulist Fathers, with a special nod to our beloved cohort between the ages of 90 and 100. There also will include music, wonderful raffle prizes, and updates on our “Hope for the Future” comprehensive campaign and the on-going construction of our new Paulist House of Mission and Studies in Washington, D.C.
