Sister Carol Schumer, St. Louis, has been honored as
the recipient of the first Halbert Sullivan Legacy Award from the Fathers and Families Support Center. More than two decades ago, Sister Carol teamed up with Founder Halbert Sullivan to lead the parenting class in FFSC’s six-week Family Formation program. Since then, hundreds of fathers who have graduated from FFSC still ask about Sister Carol and express gratitude for teaching them how to communicate and build relationships with their children. Sister Carol adds, “I was deeply honored by this recognition especially since my being the first recipient of the award was decided before Halbert Sullivan’s death. It was like a final gift from him to me.” Pictured, Jefferson Miller, FFSC Board Chair; Sister Carol; and Cheri Tillis, acting FSSC CEO.
