2025 Gala Honoree: Br. Jack Hibbard, O.S.A.

The 2025 Augustinian Gala will honor Br. Jack Hibbard, O.S.A., for his decades of service to the Order as a Friar first and foremost, a family member, a friend to many, and through various ministry roles including as Dean of Students at both St. Rita High School and Cascia Hall Preparatory School and as Prior, Subprior, and Treasurer in Augustinian communities.

Br. Jack has long been associated with the Augustinians as he attended high school at Mendel Catholic (Class of 1969) and had an uncle who was an Augustinian friar for a time. His family’s love and support have been key to his Augustinian journey, whether from his mother Rita and father Eugene, or his siblings Mary, Bill, Jim, Phillip, and Jane, who he still remains close with to this day.

Br. Jack was involved in bringing the first Kairos Retreats to St. Rita and Cascia Hall High Schools, and has impacted the lives of thousands of students over the years.
