Interreligious Peacebuilding Summit at St. Joe’s Prep
<p>Antell Cole, a recent graduate of Saint Joseph’s Prep in Philadelphia, kept a reminder pinned in his notes app on his phone: “don’t forget what you learned at IFTJ.” Inspired by the formation and connections from his participation in 3 different Ignatian Family Teach-Ins for Justice and the formative Arrupe Leaders Summit, Antell was the driving force behind the Prep’s first Interreligious Peacebuilding Summit. Replete with speakers and breakouts just like IFTJ, Antell laid the groundwork for yet another tradition at St. Joe’s Prep that allows students to apply their faith to build a more just world.</p><ul><li>Read about the <u><a href="https://ignatiansolidarity.net/iftj/speakers/journeying-toward-justice-in-the-holy-land/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">breakout session at IFTJ</a></u> that inspired the Prep’s Interreligious Peacebuilding Summit.</li><li><u><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrE2qyWroHs" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Watch the webinar</a></u> that touches on some of the topics discussed in the inspirational IFTJ breakout session.</li><li>Read about the <u><a href="https://ignatiansolidarity.net/blog/2025/04/02/the-weight-of-leadership-how-the-arrupe-summit-shapes-values-driven-advocates/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Arrupe Leaders Summit</a></u> that Antell attended in 2025.</li><li>Register for the <u><a href="http://igsol.net/iftj" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">2026 Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice</a></u>, where thousands of inspiring youth like Antell will share their gifts and deepen in perspective to amplify justice.</li></ul><br/>

Finding Community in the Justice World
<p>Aydee Cruz Mejía, an undergraduate student at Fairfield University and an alumnus of Cristo Rey Jesuit High School in Milwaukee, credits the Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice as a major catalyst in her justice-seeking vocation. She has attended five of them so far, presented at three of them, and deepened her leadership skills as a high schooler at the Arrupe Leaders Summit. Aydee is a fantastic example of a student who is not only open to growth but also provokes growth from the people and institutions to which she belongs.</p><ul><li>Read about the last <u><a href="https://ignatiansolidarity.net/blog/2025/11/19/ignatian-family-presses-on-at-28th-annual-teach-in-for-justice-in-washington-d-c/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice</a></u>, at which Aydee presented a breakout session called “Building Solidarity and Justice in Predominantly White Institutions.”</li><li>Read about the recent <u><a href="https://ignatiansolidarity.net/blog/2026/03/20/arrupe-leaders-summit-2026/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Arrupe Leaders Summit</a></u>, a formative experience Aydee underwent as a high schooler.</li></ul><br/><p></p>

Mobilizing a Community that Puts Faith into Action
<p>Xavier High School in New York City organized a prayer service and two mile march from their school down to Federal Plaza, where federal immigration court is located. Brandon Sumba, and John Mahovlic, both current juniors at Xavier, participated in that public witness on behalf of migrants and, a few days later, attended the Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice in Washington, D.C., where they got another experience of advocacy on Capitol Hill. In this episode, Brandon and John talk about what they experienced and learned over these formative experiences, providing rich examples of faith in action. During the Catholic Church’s Season of Faithful Witness, the Xavier witness is a fantastic model to follow for embodying faith-filled advocacy.</p><ol><li data-list="bullet"><span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"></span>Read about Xavier’s participation in the One Church One Family campaign through their <u><a href="https://ignatiansolidarity.net/blog/2026/03/10/xavier-high-school-models-how-to-take-a-stand-take-for-human-dignity-and-for-immigrants/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">2-mile march through New York City</a></u>.</li><li data-list="bullet"><span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"></span>Learn about the opportunity to <u><a href="https://ignatiansolidarity.net/faith-not-fear-catholic-student-day-of-witness-for-migrants/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">mobilize your community on March 24, 2026</a></u>—the feast of St. Óscar Romero—to stand in solidarity with immigrants across the country.</li><li data-list="bullet"><span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"></span>Fascilitate deeper engagemetn with this episode using this <u><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GdkdKN_PtCpdO75RMeEoo0xn4q8UIB57/view?usp=sharing" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">free discussion guide</a></u> from <u><a href="https://educationforjustice.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Education for Justice</a></u>.</li></ol><br/>
