Service to Others Through Scholarships
Alumnus Tim Jeffries ’81, who was Head Cheerleader and Student Body President in 1980-1981, and his family, have consistently been a supporter of Jesuit Sacramento, Catholic education, and service. He was the keynote speaker at the 2019 Jesuit Sacramento Scholarship Luncheon, where he shared his heartfelt thoughts on his Jesuit experience and the responsibility of others, especially alumni, to now help make Jesuit education possible.

Tasty Alumni Regional Food & Wine to Share
Sacramento and the Central Valley are known for good food and wine, so it’s no surprise that Jesuit has a number of alumni that are working in the space. With the weather warming up for summer, this is a great opportunity to share some news about our alums working in food and wine locally. Hopefully you’ll find a new favorite spot or new special occasion treat!
Celebrating 50 years of the Jesuit Auction
Remembering a season of events
Grand Gala
The Jesuit community was elated to, once again, gather together in the Fr. Barry Gymnasium to support the school. Celebrating 50 years of the Jesuit Auction with “A Grand Gala,” nearly 600 people gathered for an incredible evening of community, fun and, of course, fundraising.
Together, with the generosity of parents, alumni, and community benefactors, vital funds were raised to continue to support the extraordinary Jesuit High School students.
Moving Forward: “Seeing All Things New in Christ”
Dear Friends of Jesuit High School Sacramento:
This year in all Jesuit schools and other works, we are celebrating the 500th anniversary of Ignatius Loyola’s injury during the battle of Pamplona, in Spain, which began his process of conversion from soldier to saint, and ultimately to the founding of the Society of Jesus. We refer to this moment in Ignatius’ life as his “cannonball moment,” because during the battle he was struck by a projectile that shattered his leg and left him recovering for months.
