Reflecting on a transformative journey, we are proud to celebrate the return of our student leaders who represented St. John’s College at the Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice in Washington, D.C. This annual gathering brought together thousands of passionate advocates from Jesuit schools across the United States to reflect, learn, and act on pressing social justice issues.
The Teach-In, rooted in the Jesuit tradition of faith and action, offered our students an invaluable opportunity to explore topics such as environmental justice, immigration reform, and racial equality. Through powerful keynote sessions, engaging workshops, and meaningful discussions, our student leaders deepened their understanding of these critical issues and connected with a broader community committed to advocacy and change.
The event also featured an Advocacy Day on Capitol Hill, where students had the opportunity to meet with policymakers and voice their concerns about policies affecting their communities and the world. This hands-on experience in civic engagement underscored the importance of bringing Jesuit values into action.
Returning home, our Campus Ministry leaders are filled with renewed passion and fresh insights, eager to implement what they’ve learned within our community. From organizing local initiatives to sparking conversations on campus, they are ready to take up the mantle of justice and advocate for meaningful change.
Their participation exemplifies SJC’s commitment to forming “men and women for others.” It is a testament to the power of education and faith to inspire leadership, service, and action.
We extend our heartfelt congratulations to our student leaders for representing St. John’s College with such dedication and heart. Welcome home, advocates for justice—your journey continues, and we can’t wait to see the impact you’ll make!
