Fr. Charlie Allen is a living example of a contemplative in action. His wit and wisdom have, in the Ignatian tradition, provided students, alumni and the larger community with insights reflecting God’s work in their daily lives. With humility and humor, Fr. Allen walks faithfully with Christ and forms relationships with individuals and communities who seek to find grace in their connections with God and each other. The Murphy Center for Ignatian Spirituality is delighted to honor Fr. Charlie Allen, SJ for his more than 40 years serving the spiritual heritage of Fairfield University with magnanimity in relationships with our alumni, neighbors in the Diocese of Bridgeport, and various organizations in the town of Fairfield and the Greater Bridgeport area.
