ENNIE HICKMAN
MISSIONARY | SPEAKER | AUTHOR | NONPROFIT LEADER
Ennie Hickman is a nationally recognized Catholic communicator and nonprofit leader who has made significant contributions to Catholic missions in America for over two decades. He is best known for his leadership with Franciscan University of Steubenville, Adore Ministries, and The Saint Constantine College and Schools.
As President of Adore Ministries, Ennie developed a scalable model of missionary expansion that significantly increased the organization’s annual revenue and extended missionary presence to five additional states. A trusted speaker and innovator, Ennie has worked with major Catholic institutions and dioceses across the globe, helping them foster authentic Christian community, raise vital funds, and embody the Gospel in word and deed.
Ennie and his wife Cana are co-founders of the Del Rey Collective, a ministry empowering families to embrace Christian hospitality and neighborhood discipleship. They are also co-founders and board members of Amigos de Apla’s, which supports the Tz'utujil people of Santiago Atitlán, Guatemala, through sustenance, spiritual formation, and education—honoring the legacy of Blessed Stanley Rother.
With over two decades of experience in youth ministry, missionary work, public speaking, and non-profit leadership, Ennie is widely respected for his authentic witness and powerful storytelling. Cana, a convert to Catholicism, complements this with her unique voice as a writer, missionary, and mother of nine, bringing depth, warmth, and lived wisdom to their shared mission.
Through their ongoing ministry with dioceses and organizations across the country, the Hickmans continue to encourage families to fall more in love with Jesus, build vibrant communities rooted in faith, and live with generosity, hope, and joy in the ordinary moments of life.
The Hickmans still open up their home every week to neighbors and strangers alike. Stop by for a cold beverage if you are ever in the area.
