About the Thanksgiving Interfaith Prayer Service
On Friday, November 22, the day before we leave for Thanksgiving Break, we will gather as a community to pause and give thanks for God’s many blessings; including the blessing of our wonderfully diverse world of language, culture, and ways we honor God in our various faith traditions. In the spirit of the Jesuit tradition of “finding God in all things,” we will celebrate the richness of that diversity, understanding it as a blessing rather than a barrier; as Pope Francis himself has charged us “to create a culture of encounter, which encourages individuals and groups to share the richness of their traditions and experiences, to break down walls and to build bridges.” Parents, families, and alumni are welcome to gather and give thanks through prayer with the student body beginning at 10:45 am in the Barry Gym. Please note: while this is not a Mass, students should be in formal dress attire.

Graduation Update April 23, 2024
Dear Parents of Graduating Seniors,
Congratulations on the approaching graduation of your son. He will receive good wishes and gifts from many people, but we are all well aware that he could not have succeeded over these past four years without your support, encouragement, and love. I would like to express gratitude from all of us at Jesuit High School for your collaboration and help in bringing about this great day.
