Dear Friends & Supporters of St Paul’s High School In St Paul’s Letter to the Galatians, 2:19-21, we are given a glimpse into the dynamic interaction between Christ and the School’s Patron: I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. St Paul’s High School identifies Men and Women for and with Others who demonstrate a clear relationship with Christ that speaks to personal integrity and convictions principles out of which love is generated and expressed in the world. This evening’s Honourees, Mr and Mrs Paul and Carol Hill, are such people. In today’s fast-paced and often ‘instant’ world, the race to the top, be it financial gain or societal status, often times takes priority over some of our most basic human functions such as love or service to others. This evening we honour a couple, who together, have demonstrated that the need for commitment, dedication and service to one’s community is greater than ever before. Having reached the pinnacle of professional and personal success, Paul and Carol Hill demonstrate that personal integrity and belief in one’s convictions fulfill a certain richness that can only be attained by a profound spiritual life. Born in neighbouring Regina, the Hills have championed causes and enriched the lives of people in their hometown, province, country and the world. Having both attended Georgetown University, the oldest Catholic and Jesuit university in the United States, the Hills’ relationship and support of Catholic and Jesuit education runs deep. The Hills established a Catholic Studies program at Campion College at the University of Regina as well as founded the “One Life Makes a Difference” charitable foundation that assists with the education of disadvantaged youths. Hoping to make a difference for youth at an earlier stage in their lives, Mr and Mrs Hill founded the Mother Theresa Middle School of Regina, Canada’s first Jesuit-sponsored academy in the NativityMigue model, with the goal to provide economically disadvantaged Grade 6, 7 and 8 students with intensive educational and mentorship support to help them graduate to high school and enroll in post-secondary education. Mr and Mrs Hill’s generosity and influence extend far beyond the borders of Saskatchewan to the doorsteps of the Vatican and, indeed, around the world. Having founded Canada’s Chapter of The Patrons of the Arts in the Vatican Museums, a group dedicated to the preservation of the Vatican Museum’s art collection, Mr Hill was honoured as a Knight of St Sylvester by His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI. Mr and Mrs Hill are Stewards of St Peter, joining others from across the nation who dedicate significant resources to proclaim their love of God, fidelity to the Successor of Peter and service to others through involvement in the Papal Foundation. Together, along with their five children and ten grandchildren, the Hills have built a legacy of generosity and service based on integrity and values that are shared at St Paul’s High School, along with Catholic and Jesuit institutions globally. It is this legacy that we celebrate and honour tonight with prayerful hope of inspiring future generations of leaders in our community. By virtue of supporting tonight’s dinner, you too are helping champion the mission and vision of St Paul’s High School as well as grow the Bursary Program, so that no student is denied a Jesuit education due to financial constraints. On behalf of the Faculty, Staff, Board of Directors and most importantly, the Students of St Paul’s, I thank you for your participation, sponsorship and support of the 19th Annual Ignatian Challenge Award Tribute Dinner. Enjoy the evening and may God Bless

An Evening in Support of the Bursary Program
St Paul’s High School is an independent, Catholic, university preparatory school that aims at academic excellence and the growth of the whole person in its task of preparing young en for university and subsequent leadership in the community. Founded in 1926, it has been operated since 1931 by the Society of Jesus, a religious order of priests and brothers, also known as the Jesuits. St Paul’s is part of a worldwide network of Jesuit schools recognized for excellence in education and spiritual formation. The roots of this system reach back to the Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius of Loyola and the first Jesuit school founded in Messina, Italy in 1548. The proceeds of tonight’s Tribute Dinner support the St Paul’s High School Bursary Program. The Bursary Program is an essential aspect of a Jesuit education at St Paul’s High School ensuring accessibility for all qualified applicants.
