SEE WHAT’S CHANGED IN OUR STUDENTS LIVES AFTER GRADUATION FROM NATIVITY PREP. Nativity Opens Doors Carlos Mejia had all the ambition and fortitude needed to succeed in life, he simply needed a few doors to be opened for him during his early years. Carlos won the parenting lottery with his Mom, Graciela. As a child of a single Mom, Carlos witnessed firsthand what it took to persevere through adversity. Click the link below for the full story... https://nativityprep.org/carlos-meijas-success-story/ Thanks to donors like Jamie Carr Nativity Prep is putting over 200 students like Carlos on the path to grad school graduation. Carlos, your perseverance is awe-inspiring to the entire Nativity Prep community, but especially to all of the younger students looking up to you. First photo by Vanessa Sottile

God of power and mercy, you destroy war and put down earthly pride. Banish violence from our midst and wipe away our tears, that we may all deserve to be called your sons and daughters. Keep in your mercy those men and women who have died in the cause of freedom and bring them safely... into your kingdom of justice and peace. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. R/. Amen - United States Conference of Catholic Bishops

Flashback Friday! Last month Zander Samarasinghe, an ASB leader and senior at Torrey Pines High School, organized a supply drive for our students here at Nativity Prep. He and other Torrey Pines ASB leaders took time to meet some of our students and took a tour of our campus before getting started in order to learn more about us and our mission. They personally donated the school supplies, set up the event, and helped pass out the items to our students. We would like to give a huge thank you to Zander and his parents as well as Torrey Pines ASB for making this happen!

Happy Monday everyone. It's a great week to have a great week!

"If our love for Jesus Christ, hanging on the cross, is to have meaning for us as people of faith, it must compel us to move dramatically and unceasingly to end the institutionalized suffering which the African American community has endured all throughout our history as a people. We cannot simply pass by in silence, as the crowd did while our Lord was crucified." -Bishop McElroy from his homily at the Church of the Immaculata You are invited to read Dr. Brady's reflection on Bishop McElroy's homily on our website: https://nativityprep.org/news/a-homily-from-bishop-mcelroy/
