Prep attends Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice in Washinton, D.C.
Nine Prep students, along with Mr. Sacerdote and Mr. Dennis, traveled to Washington D.C. to join over 1,200 Ignatian leaders in gathering for the 16th annual Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice in Washington D.C. In remembrance of the Jesuit martyrs of El Salvador, students heard inspiring speakers (one of whom was a Prep graduate, Jaime Rodriguez ’10), attended breakout sessions, and strengthened their advocacy skills. Then on Monday, November 18, the students visited the office of Connecticut Congressman Jim Himes on Capitol Hill to advocate on behalf of Immigration Reform, Fair Minimum Wage, and Access to Food (SNAP).
