Company of Grace - Ignatian Spirituality Project

Company of Grace 2026: Kindle the Fire — Livestream · April 23 · 7 p.m. CT / 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT

Featured Guests

Emcee
Fr. Tim McCabe, SJ
President and CEO, Pope Francis Center

Fr. Tim has spent over 40 years advocating for marginalized communities. This journey began with the Catholic Worker Movement and led him to the Jesuits. He recently led development of the $40 million Bridge Housing Campus, Michigan’s first residential facility providing comprehensive wrap-around services for chronic homelessness.

A former director for Jesuit Volunteer Corps, Fr. Tim brings deep expertise in Ignatian spirituality. He offers a “faith in action” perspective to the national conversation on recovery and housing.

Guest Speaker
Christine Haley
Chief Homelessness Officer for the State of Illinois

Christine will be offering a statewide vantage point on the intersection of housing policy and community practice.

Before leading Illinois’ effort to prevent and end homelessness, she spent more than two decades in housing and public health. She began her career in service through the Jesuit Volunteer Corps.

Her insights will be rooted in Chicago’s experience but connected to the realities and opportunities for recovery nationwide.

2026 Company of Grace Award: Ignatius House

The Company of Grace is named after the first lay companions of St. Ignatius of Loyola, who dedicated themselves to serving the spiritual and material needs of the poor. In 2013, ISP created the Company of Grace event and an accompanying award, which has since honored over two dozen champions across our network. With the award, ISP recognizes a committed champion of our ministry, building a modern Company of Grace.

This year, we are honored to present the Company of Grace Award to Ignatius House in Atlanta, Georgia. Ignatius House has been part of the ISP family since 2007, when it held its first ISP retreat. The partnership reflects a deep alignment between ISP’s ministry of spiritual companionship and Ignatius House’s values of hospitality and welcome.

“Ignatius House has created the kind of environment where ISP’s mission doesn’t just operate — it flourishes. The hospitality, the spiritual depth, and the commitment to welcoming all people have made Ignatius House a model for what this work can look like when a community fully embraces it.” — Christine Curran, Executive Director, ISP
