Patrick Rodgers Memorial Service Award
Wednesday, 2 November 2022
We warmly congratulate Xavier Rickard (OR2017), this year's recipient
of the Patrick Rodgers Memorial Service Award. This award is presented
annually to a young Old Ignatian who has continued a consistent service
commitment and honours the memory and service of Patrick Rodgers
(OR2011), who passed away while serving some of the most
disadvantaged people in Pailin, Cambodia.
Xavier said at today's Assembly, "As you continue your Ignatian Service
journey, I encourage you to use your skills to give back to those who
need it most... being a companion means learning how to listen; being
attentive to others, walking with them on their journey, and hearing
their story."
We applaud Xavier for continuing his Ignatian Service after leaving the
College and being an exemplary "man for others".
