St. Paul’s High School is pleased to announce Mr. Mark Chipman ‘78 as the 2024 Ignatian Challenge Award recipient for this year’s 29th Annual Tribute Dinner on November 12, 2024.
“It is with great enthusiasm that I share with you that my friend and classmate from 1978, Mark Chipman, is the Ignatian Challenge Award recipient for 2024,” states Kevin Booth ’78, President of St. Paul’s High School. “As an alumnus, Mark Chipman ’78 exemplifies the Jesuit ideal of being ‘a man for others.’ His unwavering commitment to compassionate service and leadership in our community is inspiring. Mark’s service to others is a testament to the Ignatian principles of finding God in all things and striving for magis—the deep desire to do more for the Greater Glory of God (AMDG). Embodying the humility, generosity, and integrity that we all aspire to, Mark has been a model of Ignatian ingenuity and innovation. We are honoured to celebrate his remarkable contributions to our community and beyond.”
