It is indeed rare to find a secondary school where so many students take advantage of a wealth of opportunities to put the tenets of their faith into practice. Over 300 students at Loyola are. part of the Christian service program. The opportunities include working in soup kitchens. teaching English to new immigrants. serving in homeless shelters. working in day care centers. as well as some of the toughest parishes in the inner city. The purpose of such involvement is not simply exposure to lifes challenges outside the relatively comfortable world of Chicagos north suburbs. but to impress upon these students. these future leaders.the lifelong responsibility of service to others. I congratulate Loyolaits faculty. staff and studentson its outstanding record of accomplishment in the classroom. on the field. and. most importantly. in the community. and wish it continued success educating "men for others." I ask to insert a copy of the April 1. 1992. article from the Chicago SunTimes.
