St. Peter's Prep, Regis, Fordham Prep, Loyola, Fairfield Prep, St. Joseph's Prep and Xavier High School are participating in The Great Ignatian Challenge, a donation competition across 4 states NJ/NY/CT/PA sponsored by The Northeast province of the Society of Jesus (The Jesuits). This friendly but spirited competition is intended to strengthen each school's Thanksgiving food drive, further raising 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 Great Ignatian Challenge will run October 21 - November 22. 

The Challenge derives its name from St. Ignatius of Loyola, 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.

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 for your support! Your contributions will strengthen our community by helping others in need.
