The 2024 Summit on Human Dignity Opens; Announces Debt-Forgiveness Initiative
Brophy's annual Summit on Human Dignity has opened, this year with a "Debt & Dignity" theme. Today's keynote speaker was Mr. Craig Antico of ForgiveCo, a pioneer in debt forgiveness. He announced the "Bronco Jubilee" initiative which will funnel proceeds from this year's Lenten Drive to debt forgiveness in Maricopa County benefiting low-income residents burdened with debts of necessity.
Every $1 donated will forgive $50 worth of debt, with the goal of raising $20,000 for debt forgiveness totaling $1 million. If Brophy reaches that goal, ForgiveCo has pledged to match it for $2 million of debt forgiveness in the county.
ForgiveCo is a public benefit corporation that has partnered with the Washington Commanders, NFL quarterback Josh Allen and others. Donate to the Lenten drive by clicking/tapping here. You can donate online or via the Venmo QR code. Thank you for your support!
This morning, Brophy College Preparatory proudly hosted its New Student Convocation, a cherished tradition that prayerfully welcomes new students and their families into the Brophy community. This year’s convocation was particularly special, as it marked the arrival of the Class of 2028, coinciding with the school’s centennial year, as well as the Loyola Academy Scholar Class of 2031.
The ceremony included a prayerful reflection, highlighting the school’s commitment to faith and the Jesuit tradition. The event concluded with a blessing for the new students and their families, setting a positive and hopeful tone for the years to come. As the Class of 2028 begins its journey at Brophy, and the Loyola Academy Scholars continue their academic path, they do so with the full support of the Brophy community.
Brophy College Preparatory marked the beginning of the school year with the annual Back to School Bash, a signature event designed to foster connections between the incoming Class of 2028 and their Big Brothers. The event was a tremendous success, offering a day filled with activities aimed at building camaraderie and community.
Students participated in a variety of water-themed activities, with the highlight being the giant water slides set up on Brophy’s baseball field. The pool area was also a popular spot, providing a refreshing way to celebrate the start of the new academic year. Lively music, engaging games and a festive atmosphere contributed to a day of smiles and new friendships.
It’s clear that the students are ready for an exciting year ahead
