Four days a week, Jesuit maintains a pretty strict "no pets" policy on campus. You will be hard pressed to find a dog or any animal around campus for that matter. Every Wednesday, however, if you walk by the senior courtyard, you will see and probably hear numerous pups as they arrive with their senior handlers to serve the...
If you happened to drive by the Northpark Center on the morning of October 26, 2019, you might have noticed streets blocked off for some race. You also might've seen a stage like that for a concert. The sea of pink, however, should've certainly revealed the heart and soul of this event.

Nervously awaiting their cue, a group of seniors sit at the front of the large crowd. After Mr. Host gives the call to worship, Dr. Riemer gives some short introductory remarks.

After entering the kitchen, the students crack some eggs into a pan and prepare themselves some PB&J's, creating an exquisite and healthy meal to start off...
In his Prayer for Generosity, St. Ignatius of Loyola calls us "to give and not to count the cost." While this could be interpreted literally to mean giving money, Ignatius is calling us to give of ourselves in service to others, especially those in need. With this same spirit, the Jesuit Community Service department has announced service opportunities for...
