A CATHOLIC Jesuit High School: Miracle or Oxymoron?
• JHS encourages students to share their faith with their peers.
• A total of 104 students have been baptised since 2010.
• For Father Richard Hermes, SJ, the president of JHS, “nothing” is more important than promoting the faith and leading the young men to God.
• Retreats are a big part of the school's ministry.
• A key factor in the campus’ “dynamic, orthodox, authentically Catholic culture” is the availability of the sacraments.
• There is daily Mass, regular Eucharistic adoration, confessions.
• The crown jewel of JHS is the multimillion-dollar Holy Cross Chapel, a Romanesque edifice dedicated in 2018.
• JHS values “beautiful, noble, dignified liturgies” making the Masses and other liturgies “as dignified and solemn as possible.”
• Groups of eight to 10 students meet regularly at lunchtime to discuss their faith.
• The school has a “rock-solid theology department” that offers truth combined with “unapologetic and uncompromising” love.
