Last week juniors embarked on the first ever junior service day designed to give juniors a chance to experience Catholic social justice and the future senior service days. On junior service day, students dispersed all over Dallas, serving at various Catholic elementary schools, nursing homes, food kitchens, and homeless shelters. Payton Maher ’13 worked at AIDS Resources where he helped prepare...
Everyone knows that a dog is a man’s best friend, but besides having a cuddly buddy to keep you warm at nights, how else do we benefit from them? According to the American Veterinary Medical Associations, approximately 36.5% of American households own dogs, and with that many canine companions, it’s not hard to see the effects. Studies have commonly shown...
Borders represent several things to us. A border defines a nation’s geographic territory and sovereignty. It can create a sense of safety, security and belonging to a nation and its citizens.

But what you probably don’t know is the full extent of the maxim, and what it means exactly. Jesuit’s motto is actually, “Men and Women for and with Others,” but what does it mean to be men for and...
It's that time of year again! With the Christmas season comes joy and excitement for the whole world to share. White crystallized snowflakes fall upon the earth as shining golden bells jingle cheerfully.
