Last week, Pope Benedict XVI announced that he will step down from his papal seat on February 28th, an event that has not happened for about six centuries. The obvious questions arise: who will be his successor? And what will be the direction of the Church under the new Pope?
Benedict decided to step down because of health issues as...
The buzzer beater shots. The winning Hail Mary catches. The walk-off homeruns. All these and many, many more are moments athletes, regardless of the sport, live for. Being an athlete is more than the workouts, the game, the fame, or the success; it’s much more. Being an athlete calls for one to give his entire body, his entire mind, his...
Jesuit is one of the most unique schools in the nation with all of its traditions and opportunities. When you think of Jesuit College Prep so many things could possibly come to mind, but what one thing stands out?

Dear Dee,
So many choices at the Jesuit cafe? What's a hungry boy to choose?
Hungry Hugo
Dear Hungry Hugo,
Lunch? You wish to know my thoughts on lunch, to advise on you on the “perfect lunch”? Hmmmm… Interesting. All things making up this perfect lunch must be items that can be purchased from the Jesuit cafeteria? Ok, well, even though I don’t...
