St. Peter's Prep along with St. Joseph's Prep, Loyola, Fordham Prep, Fairfield Prep, Regis and Xavier are participating in a Thanksgiving food drive to raise awareness of hunger in our communities across NY/NJ/PA/CT while filling local food banks and pantries with tens of thousands of pounds of much-needed provisions for needy families.

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. 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.
