A group of CHS student leaders was part of last weekend’s Ignatian Solidarity Network Arrupe Leaders Summit at the Jesuit Retreat Center in Parma, Ohio.
Pictured in front of the statue of St. Ignatius are (left to right): Benjamin Eppolito ’26, Connor Jackson ’26, Evan Mitskovski ’26, Matthew Kreuzer ’26, Noah Cosgrove ’26, Matthew Carver ’26.
The group was accompanied by Counselor Anne Marie Moscovic and Campus Minister and teacher Ronald Ahrens '91.
The summit invites emerging student leaders and faculty chaperones from high schools nationwide to deepen their understanding of “a faith that does justice,” share ideas and resources for social justice programming and become empowered to effect positive social change in their local and global communities.
Throughout the program, students explore The Student Leadership Challenge: Five Practices for Exemplary Leaders through the lens of the life of Fr. Pedro Arrupe, S.J.
Fr. Arrupe’s commitment to engaging the Second Vatican Council’s call to solidarity with all of humanity was demonstrated through his emphasis on the Jesuits’ recommitment to serving those on the margins and seeing social justice as core to one’s faith in Christ.
Arrupe is also the namesake of one of the houses in the CHS House System.
Students and families interested in the many unique programs of CHS Campus Ministry and the academic, athletic and artistic excellence only found in a Jesuit education at Canisius can learn more at canisiushigh.org or by joining us at our Spring Open House on Sunday, April 28.
This place is special. Let us show you why.
