The Spirit of IHM Awards
The Foundation Board members strive to honor what we call “the Spirit of IHM.” That “spirit,” rooted in the love of God, involves work to help others by giving back, shar- ing time and talents, honoring justice, welcoming others, and recognizing and promoting the unique gifts God gives to His people. It is a spirit full of love, caring, and a willingness to work together for a better world for all.
