For the 11th Year in a Row, Students Travel to Washington D.C. to Learn About Social Justice Issues

Nov 6, 2024 | Academic, School News

Cristo Rey St. Martin (CRSM) students have participated in the Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice (IFTJ) for 11 years now, and each year, the students tackle a different social justice topic through discussion, seminar, and prayer.

This year, the topic of discussion was “Steadfast Hope in Precarious Times.” The students who attended had the opportunity to meet and have meaningful discussions with other students from various Jesuit and Catholic high schools across the country. It was a 3-day conference full of collaboration- five ignition network speakers, three keynote speakers, and over 40 breakout sessions.

In total, four CRSM seniors and one junior attended the conference, along with Government Teacher Jon Taus. It was a rewarding weekend of reflection and advocacy for those involved. We are looking forward to seeing what IFTJ 2025 has for our students! For more information on the conference, click here.
