On February 17, our students led a powerful Prayer Vigil and Public Witness rooted in faith, compassion, and justice.
Inspired by student walkouts across the nation and in the Chicagoland area, our students chose to respond in a way that reflects who we are as a faith community through prayer, reflection, and peaceful solidarity.
During lunch and flex, we gathered to honor the lives impacted by immigration enforcement, lifted our voices in unity, and created space for awareness grounded in dignity and hope. This was student-led leadership at its best, thoughtful, courageous, and centered in faith.
As Claudia G. (CRSM ‘26) shared with her fellow classmates:
“Thank you to everyone who took the time today to join our prayer vigil. Your presence and participation helped create a meaningful space for reflection, faith, and solidarity within our community. Advocacy is not always loud. Sometimes it begins with prayer, awareness, and the courage to stand together. By showing up, you demonstrated that compassion and engagement matter”.
We are proud of our students for leading with integrity and heart. May we continue to be a community that responds with prayer, stands with compassion, and lives out our call to justice.
