Circle of Grace Reception
Father Jack Hickey founded Dismas House in 1974 with a vision to reconcile formerly incarcerated to society through the development of a supportive community.
Over 48 years later, that vision is still being upheld with the truth that second chances change lives.
Dismas House is proud to honor Father Jack Hickey with the annual Circle of Grace Reception to recognize those who generously support the mission of Dismas House with an annual gift of $1,000 or more.
2023 Reception: Thursday, November 9
