On April 5, 2023, the Junior Class of 2024 underwent a day-long retreat on campus. Juniors were divided into groups led by PALS (junior service organization) members.

Later that evening, the Junior Cross Mass was held to...

The sophomore class entered their retreat blind, unaware of how they would spend their next eight hours. Most sophomores shuffled out of their cars early in the morning, expecting another day filled with team building activities and sleep-inducing lectures. These negative expectations seemed to be coming true, as the final bus arrived late. Needless to say, there was a lot...
The one thing we pay the least attention to daily is a door. Either rushing forward to grab one or slamming it angrily behind us, doors captivate attention for only microseconds before we turn towards far more important things. The vast majority of Jesuit’s doors are unadorned, providing a very bland sight for us to pass by every day....
"So the men reclined, about five thousand in number. Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed them to those who were reclining, and also as much of the fish as they wanted. When they had had their fill, he said to his disciples, “Gather the fragments left over, so that nothing will be wasted.” So they collected...
