Fairfield Prep, along with Regis, Fordham Prep, Loyola, Saint Peter's and Xavier are participating in a Thanksgiving food drive to raise awareness of hunger in our communities while filling local food banks and pantries with tens of thousands of pounds of much-needed provisions for needy families. This friendly but spirited competition will run from October 16 - November 17, 2017.
The Challenge derives its name from St. Ignatius, who taught, "Love consists of sharing what one has and what one is with those one loves. Love ought to show itself in deeds more than in words." We are collectively putting those words into action. Remember we may be a small school but we have BIG hearts and we can make a BIG difference in the lives of hungry families!
A key component of a Jesuit education is caring for the wider community which allows students to gain first-hand knowledge of local, national, and global issues. Through service to the community, the students prepare for the day when they will participate in their world as competent, concerned, and responsible members who are committed to social justice.
Thank you! Your contributions will strengthen our community by helping others in need.
