“Wherever the Catholic sun doth shine,There’s always laughter and good red wine.At least I’ve always found it so.Benedicamus Domino!”

Hilaire Belloc‑

Dear Friends,

Over the years, I have known many people in restaurant business. At one of my first priesthood assignments in Kansas City, Missouri, I recall one very good family. We had a 6:15am Mass every weekday morning and the mom and dad were there without fail. They joined well over 100 people every day to begin their day at the table of the Lord. What was especially impressive about this couple was that they probably had locked up the restaurant after midnight. Getting home, they took a short nap, and were preparing for the next day. Owning and operating a successful restaurant always seemed to me like having a newborn baby that needed constant care and attention.

Since we all visit restaurants, we can often think we could operate one successfully. Our Saint Ignatius College Prep community is most blessed to have many talented alumni and families of alumni, who labor in this field. Good restaurants and perhaps any successful business, have a knack for making complex things seem simple. When you get to know all that is involved, you soon begin to realize that it takes a lot more than a good recipe book to make a good restaurant.

I am very happy that we are exploring this dimension of the hospitality industry in this magazine. If you happen to dine at one of venues tell them: “St. Ignatius sent me!” If we missed a restaurant with an Ignatius connection, be sure to let us know so that we can include it on our website. This was not meant to be an exhaustive restaurant guide, but just a sample from the lives of our alumni and friends, who labor to welcome us and create an enjoyable experience. I think you will enjoy learning about some new places as well as getting reacquainted with those that might be familiar or favorites.

Creating a welcoming and hospitable place is certainly a key value at our school. I believe that when we all look at the hostility and violence in our world and country, we can become discouraged. As I walk through our school, I see young men and women from all walks of life, smiling, laughing, and thriving. We are most blessed to have a school that welcomes people and helps them develop their gifts. Saint Ignatius College Prep is a force for good in our Archdiocese and City of Chicago.

Ignatian Hospitality. For centuries the Jesuits and their lay collaborators have welcomed tens of thousands of the faithful to church and retreat houses for spiritual nourishment. Generations of students have studied at the Jesuit’s colleges, universities and high schools. Many have been cared for in Jesuit hospitals, soup kitchens and many other ministries of health and healing. In this issue we focus on several alums and Saint Ignatius families who provide hospitality in our Chicago area.

They help to create special memories for life’s occasions. They give generously to the community and to the school. They undertake each work day with a dedication to excellence and always extend a heartfelt welcome. Ignatian hospitality is alive and well in the Chicago of the 21st Century.

In this magazine, you will read about the accomplishments of our students, the commitment of our alumni and the generosity of our friends and benefactors. We have just concluded the season of giving and gifting, which too often in modern society is enveloped in a consumer culture. Let me share a story of a gift, humbly given, which reinforces the goodness that your generosity develops.

On Christmas Eve, I received an email from one of our families. Their daughter is a student in the upper grades. They asked if I could call them. This family is of very modest circumstances. Both parents work and sacrifice to make sure their children are well-cared for. The mother started out by wishing Merry Christmas to our community and began to thank us for providing financial aid for their daughter. She stated that her daughter has thrived at the school, both in her academic achievements and her spiritual growth. In a quiet voice she said that they would not have been able to send her to Saint Ignatius, if a generous benefactor had not provided financial aid – something which the family was humbled to receive. Our parent went on to say that her husband’s employer had unexpectedly given his workers a modest bonus this year. The family, without having to discuss what to do with this money decided to send it to the school to help a family that was less well off than they were. My first reaction was to say that perhaps they should keep this unexpected bonus as I knew this family lived in modest circumstances. After listening to her comments, her selfless act of giving was a very important decision for her and her family. She embodied at that instant the meaning of “to whom much is given, much is expected in return”.

I share this beautiful Christmas story with you as a means of assuring you, that your support of our students, particularly our financial aid program, has such meaningful and tangible outcomes.

May you and your families experience a Blessed New Year, filled with hope and the knowledge that you are changing lives.

With heartfelt gratitude,

John J. Chandler, Vice President

Gastrophile. Oenophile. Call it what you will… but there must be something in the water at 1076 W. Roosevelt Road. For decades, alumni and parents of alumni, have been working in the hospitality industry. From family owned restaurants passed down through the generations, to brand new establishments, there’s no doubt that many from the Saint Ignatius family are drawn into the world of the culinary arts.

Saint Ignatius Magazine recently reached out to a handful of these individuals to learn more about their businesses. The questions and answers below will be sure to whet your appetite for some of the wonderful Ignatius offerings in the Chicagoland area.

By no means are the

establishments highlighted here

meant to represent an exhaustive

list of restaurants and bars within

the Ignatius family. We simply

don’t have enough room to list them

all! If you own a bar or restaurant,

please answer the same questions

we asked below, and email your

answers to ryan.bergin@ignatius.

org. We’ll get the responses posted

on the school website.Bon appetit and slainte!

ortake a Seat

1. How did you get into the hospitality business? The summer before I started as a student at Saint Ignatius, I had the oppaes, taking tickets, etc. 3 or 4 days in, one of the grill guys called off and the chef (Rene) showed me how to cook the swordfish and rib eye steaks for sandwiches. I was hooked on the adrenaline, the team sport of cooking and working with my hands. I knew it would be my profession.

2. What’s your favorite thing about running your business? Everyday there’s an opportunity to learn and to teach. It’s that give and take, daily, with the teams that make up Trenchermen that really make it exciting.

3. What’s your least favorite thing about running your business? As the chef and owner I have little time to cook vs. how much time I had envisioned having. Owning a business is very time consuming. A lot of the time there is no separation of personal and professional spaces. The restaurant is open 7 days a week, there is always a question that needs to be answered, and a problem to be solved.

4. Who are your customers? With our different options in the restaurant, we’re able to draw a diverse clientele. Our bar pulls a lot of people interested in a quick bite, craft cocktails and a really nice beer program. The dining room gives guests an opportunity to have a little more formal dining experience complete with a really fun wine program. And our brunch is a great option for groups and families.

5. What’s your favorite thing on your menu? In the bar, our burger. We grind it in house and it’s 100% grass‑fed beef sourced from Indiana, a sesame seed bun we make daily, aged cheddar and bread and butter pickles. Along with a siracha 1,000 island, simply put, it’s a great burger. In the dining room, we have a grains dish, toasted oats, sprouted lentils and quinoa. We finish this with fermented black beans, roasted mushrooms, fried tofu and onion caramel. Everyone we’ve had try it, really enjoys it because of how soul satisfying and textural the dish is. Most are shocked that it’s a vegan dish.

6. What are your plans for the future? Right now, we’re continuing to work on weaving Trenchermen into the neighborhood as well as reworking the business systems we have in place to be able to focus on a culture of hospitality. So currently, there are no new projects on the docket.

7. What’s the most popular item on your menu or drink in your bar? Our bespoke cocktails are really popular in the bar. We’re very excited about the program because it encourages interaction between our bar team and our guests, with the end result of the guest getting a drink tailored to the flavors they enjoy.

1. How did you get into the hospitality business? I was exposed to many regional Italian preparations as a child. Memories of religious holidays, festive celebrations and the anticipated arrival of the season’s bounty of meats, seafood, fruits and vegetables created a lifelong meaning for food and wine. Having been born into an Italian family, with a father who was a professional chef and enthusiastically spearheaded the preparation of celebratory experiences, further created additional interest for me. Daily exposure to authentic Italian foods, prepared by my mother in a focused manner appeared to be endless. I became deeply fascinated with food, the varieties and preparations. Therefore, I found it a natural evolution to make gastronomy a lifelong passionate experience! – John Coletta Executive Chef / Managing Partner

2. What’s your favorite thing about running your business? Quartino has an exciting and energetic atmosphere. It is fun to engage with friends, regular customers, and our amazing staff every day.

3. What’s your least favorite thing about running your business? It is a 24 hour per day operation. From opening and set up through the daily operation to break down, cleaning, and maintenance, we have staff in the building 24 hours per day.

4. Who are your customers? Since the concept is multifaceted it attracts a diverse customer base from loyal lunch patrons to local bar regulars to large group functions both business and personal.

5. What’s your favorite thing on your menu? The menu at Quartino is comprised of authentic regional Italian preparations, executed with a deep understanding and respect for its proper preparation. Our house‑made salami, salads, cheeses, pasta and pizza are proprietary and represent genuine regional Italian cooking. This effort appears simple, often stated and yet rarely experienced outside of Italy. – John Coletta Executive Chef / Managing Partner

6. What are your plans for the future? Quartino is a part of Gibsons Restaurant Group which includes Gibsons, Hugo’s, Lux Bar, and Chi Sox Sports Bar. Gibsons Restaurant Group is expanding and open to new projects! In the past year we opened The Montgomery, an event facility for weddings, parties and banquets. In 2015, The Boathouse will open in downtown Disney complete with amphicars to ride in. And, always looking to the future, we are searching for locations across the country as well as in the Chicago area to expand our brands. – Michael Lombardo ’93

7. What’s the most popular item on your menu or drink in your bar? By far, the most popular drinks served are Antica Rosso and Antica Bianco (house wines) which are central to the identity of Quartino. We serve wines by the carafe with the smallest size being a quartino or quarter liter. The house red and white options are only $5 per quartino or $15 per bottle. They are fresh, food‑friendly wines produced in Italy and have generated loyal customers since we opened 9 years ago.

1. How did you get into the hospitality business? My first position upon

graduating college was Assistant Director of Special Events for the Art

Institute of Chicago. I then took the position of Director of Special Events for

the School of the Art Institute and developed their Special Events department.

While there, I met my husband, Reid Tillinghast, who was in the Catering

and Events industry. Together we developed our own catering and venue

management group. I joined the company full time as Co‑President in 2012.

2. What’s your favorite thing about running your business? Unbridled

creativity.

3. What’s your least favorite thing about running your business?

Finances, but luckily, my husband and Co‑President, Reid, loves that stuff.

4. Who are your customers? Everyone who loves good food, good friends,

and good times.

5. What’s your favorite thing on your menu? Since I am the Culinary Artist

and Designer, I am always creating my next favorite dish. Today it is Lobster

Chicken stuffed with polenta, roasted corn, bacon and lobster, and smothered

in a tomato lobster bisque sauce.

6. What are your plans for the future? We are now developing a west side

loft/gallery space called Kenmare Lofts.

7. What’s the most popular item on your menu or drink in your bar?

Braised Beef Bourguignon on mascarpone polenta, and for vegans it is

Teriyaki Braised Purple and Orange Cauliflower Steaks with Lao vegetable

fried rice.

1. How did you get into the hospitality business? I married into it. My husband had been in the business since his high school days. He started his own business his senior year of high school.

2. What’s your favorite thing about running your business? My favorite thing about running my own business is the wonderful mix of customers I meet. I often tease that my old timers are now an extension of my family.

3. What’s your least favorite thing about running your business? The least favorite thing is that you NEVER have a day off. Especially with today’s technology, with the use of surveillance cameras and cell phones and computer we find we are never really away from the restaurants. Even when we are on vacation we are in daily contact with the business!

4. Who are your customers? At both of our full service Italian places, Franconello & Francos, we are blessed to be in two great neighborhoods that support us. We have many regulars & are very grateful for them. Our breakfast place, Jam ’N Honey, is in Lincoln Park very close to DePaul University. Here we too are very blessed. We have a constant influx of new customers due to the rotation of students at DePaul and we also have so many wonderful families that are very grateful we are their neighborhood breakfast spot.

5. What’s your favorite thing on your menu? At our two Italian restaurants we have too many choices for me to have just one Favorite: our Sausage and Peppers Franconello, our 2 inch think herb roasted pork chop, our famous Tiramisu. At Jam ’N Honey: our Italian Benedict served on homemade risotto cakes is wonderful , and we have a great sandwich called B.L.A.S.T ( bacon, lettuce, avocado, shrimp, tomato) served on toasted brioche.

6. What are your plans for the future? As of now we have no plans in the works.

7. What’s the most popular item on your menu or drink in your bar? My favorite items are pretty much our most popular dishes!

2158 n. halsted chicago, Il 60614 773.281.1205 www.glascotts.com

1. How did you get into the hospitality business? We have been in business since 1937. My Grandfather, Lawrence Glascott, opened the bar and it has been passed through generations. There have been many Glascott’s who have managed the family business and when my brother landed another job and had to resign, I stepped in as the manager. Actually I think my father TOLD me I would be the next manager so I really didn’t have a choice.

2. What’s your favorite thing about running your business? My favorite thing about running the business is meeting new people and hearing the great stories about people meeting at Glascott’s. I have heard countless times about married couples who met at Glascott’s or had their first date at Glascott’s, (myself included.) Also, all of the reunions, parties, etc. Helping to create good times and great memories.

3. What’s your least favorite thing about running your business? Least favorite thing would be the crazy hours.

4. Who are your customers? We have wide variety of customers ranging from local young professionals, lots of family & friends, and of course plenty of Iggy Alumni.

5. What’s your favorite thing on your menu? Favorite thing on the menu would be one of our many delicious beers, (especially all of the great local brews.)

6. What are your plans for the future? We don’t have any plans for new ventures at this point. Just trying to make Glascott’s the most comfortable watering hole possible.

7. What’s the most popular item on your menu or drink in your bar? We have plenty of popular drinks at the bar ranging from the new craft beers, to Vodka RedBull, & of course a simple shot of Jameson Irish Whiskey.

F e a t u r e S t o r y

1. How did you get into the hospitality business? I got into the hospitality business because it was always one of my dreams. I was a commodities trader at the CBOT and that business changed drastically, so I needed to figure something else to do. I had a friend from the exchange, Matt Fisher, who left the floor 20 years ago to pursue hospitality and I asked him if he was interested in doing projects together. He was and here I am.

2. What’s your favorite thing about running your business? My favorite thing is having a place where I can employ so many dedicated and hard‑working people and watch them create food and an environment that makes our customers happy.

3. What’s your least favorite thing about running your business? When a customer has a bad experience for any reason. Everybody is working really hard to provide a top notch, fun dining experience, and when that doesn’t happen, we aren’t happy.

4. Who are your customers? They range greatly, from young professionals, people celebrating, the neighborhood residents, people doing business. It’s a relaxed yet sophisticated ambiance.

5. What’s your favorite thing on your menu? I can’t pick 1 favorite thing, I have 3. The braised octopus with fingerling potatoes, grilled frisée, nicoise vierge, and squid ink vinaigrette appetizer; the bone‑in Bershire pork chop with white cheddar grits, apple mostarda, roasted brussel sprouts entree; the seared scallops with kohlrabi, concord apple, pickled mustard seed, guanciale entree.

6. What are your plans for the future? My partners from the Boarding House, Alpana Singh and Matt Fisher, and I are opening a new restaurant in the end of January called 7 Lions Bar and Cellar. It will be located at 130 S Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL 60603. 312‑880‑0130, sevenlionschicago.com.

7. What’s the most popular item on your menu or drink in your bar? It’s a tie for most popular item between the Flat iron steak with roasted German butterball potatoes, shallot jam, garlic confit butter and the grilled New Zealand venison loin with rutabaga purée, bacon, currants. What can I say, Chicago is a meat eating town.

Sean Geoghegan ’99 - Owner Roscoe Village Pub Neighborhood Tavern in the Roscoe Village area of Chicago

2159 W. addison chicago, Il 773.472.6160

1. How did you get into the hospitality business? My brother and I worked at a family owned bar in college and after college at nights. We got a taste as to what it takes to run a small neighborhood business as a family.

2. What’s your favorite thing about running your business? It’s a blank canvas per say, and we get to make a name for ourselves from scratch. We have an opportunity to take a small neighborhood business in a new direction and that’s very exciting.

3. What’s your least favorite thing about running your business? Balancing my family (I have 2 children under 2 years old), my day job, and everything I want to do with Roscoe Village Pub.

4. Who are your customers? Currently, it’s the older generation of local people in the Roscoe Village area. Our goal is to bring in the new families and the younger generation of people that live in the area. We are located on Addison St. and the Chicago Cubs play 82 home games about 1 mile East of us. We’re looking to make Roscoe Village Pub a viable option for people that are coming to or from Wrigley Field. The bar has an opportunity to become a neighborhood staple and “a melting pot” for everyone to enjoy.

5. What’s your favorite thing on your menu? My favorite drink to make or serve, is one that a customer has never had before. I love it when a customer refers to a certain beer or cocktail they like and ask me if I can mimic that taste or flavor with something new.

6. What are your plans for the future? The bar is still very new to us and we’ve only had it for a couple months. We’re trying to re‑establish ourselves in the neighborhood and are constantly making improvements, while listening to our customers. Everything takes time and money, so we can’t afford to do too much too fast. We are however, looking to build out a patio in the backyard for customers to have a drink outside in the Spring/Summer months. Nothing beats a drink outside on a beautiful summer night in Chicago. We’re also looking for new staff and bartenders, and we have offered Saturday nights to John Chandler… Let’s Go Mr. Chandler!

7. What’s the most popular item on your menu or drink in your bar? Believe it or not… PBR (Pabst Blue Ribbon) in a can.

2. What’s your favorite thing about running your business? I love meeting new customers. We are fortunate to welcome new ones to our restaurant all the time. I also love seeing the repeat customers.

We have many that have bene coming to Bruna’s for years.

3. What’s your least favorite thing about running your business? The hours are a very tough part of the business. This aspect is demanding for everyone involved in Bruna’s.

for so many years at our restaurant.

Smoque BBQ Smoque is a small, no-frills place that specializes in making authentic, slow-

smoked BBQ served with a handful of scratch-made sauces and sides.

3800 n. Pulaski rd.chicago, Il 60641www.smoquebbq.com773.545.7427

1. How did you get into the hospitality business? I’ve had a

meandering career. I was an aspiring English professor and then

went on to work in technology and consulting. It was in this

arena that I met my future business partner. We’d talk about

going out on our own. Smoque was the ultimate result. Neither

of us had any real knowledge about how to run a restaurant, but

we were great at writing business plans, so we were able to get

funding and get the doors open.

2. What’s your favorite thing about running your business?

I like being able to chart my own course, and I like not having

to worry about navigating the political landscapes I found so

endemic to academia and corporate life. I also like that, unlike in

some of my previous jobs, I am making something tangible and

something to which my customers have an immediate reaction

(and generally a favorable one).

3. What’s your least favorite thing about running your business? Owning your own place means never really being

able to get away from it. Even when you are not there, you are

worrying about it at some level all the time. Also, there is no one

to pass the buck to when a problem or crisis arises.

4. Who are your customers? Our customers are people who love

good BBQ and are willing to do what it takes to get it‑including

standing in a long line and eating while rubbing elbows with

strangers. One of the real strengths of Smoque is that we cast

a wide net and draw customers from people in all walks of life.

On any given day, we might be delivering catering to some of

the most powerful and connected people in Chicago and at the

same time feeding cops and firemen and utility workers in our

restaurant.

5. What’s your favorite thing on your menu? Our menu is very

small and nothing ever changes on it. It’s what has enabled us to

keep the quality and consistency of our products high. Last year

I came up with a recipe for Pecan Bread Pudding with a Salted

Bourbon Caramel Sauce. Since its new and I’m not tired of it yet

I’ll call it my favorite.

6. What are your plans for the future? We have looked at a lot

of opportunities to expand over the years, but so far, we have not

been able to find the right fit. We have been pretty conservative

in our approach to expansion as we don’t want to put the

business and brand we’ve painstakingly nurtured at risk.

Hank ’46 and Joan Dieters Receive Inaugural Pope Francis Transformation Award

Mellody Hobson ’87 / George Lucas Family Foundation Creates New Scholars Program

This year’s President’s Dinner took place on October 4, 2014. The event was one of the school’s ways to say thank you to the generous benefactors who have

supported the school in the previous fiscal year at the $2,500 President’s Club giving level or higher. Over 600 were in attendance for this year’s event.

At this dinner Fr. Caruso, S.J. presented the inaugural Pope Francis Transformation award to Hank ’46 and Joan Dieters. The Pope Francis Transformation Award was established in honor of the 2013 election of the first Jesuit, Jorge Cardinal Bergoglio, as the successor of St. Peter. From the beginning of his papacy, Pope Francis has called forth men and women of good will and all faiths to make a positive difference in our world. When Pope Francis addressed a gathering of Jesuit

schools he reminded the students and faculty that St. Ignatius began the ministry of schools to cultivate magnanimity: “...this virtue of the great and the small, which always makes us look at the horizon. It means having a great heart, having greatness of mind; it means having great ideals, the wish to do great things to respond to what God asks of us.” Those who possess this magnanimous heart have the ability to transform the lives of those around them.

Saint Ignatius College Prep would like to recognize and honor Hank ’46 and Joan Deiters for sharing this magnanimity and vision with their loyalty and support of our school community. Their vision and commitment have contributed to transforming Saint Ignatius College Prep into a dynamic place that educates young men and women for lives of faith and service.

Saint Ignatius College Prep is excited to announce that a recent gift from Mellody Hobson ’87 will go towards creating the Mellody Hobson Scholars Program at the school. The program will support six students with four years of full tuition at Saint Ignatius as well as a stipend for technology, extracurricular activities and event fess.

Ms. Hobson’s scholarship support will create the opportunity of a Saint Ignatius education for an economically at-risk population of students. The candidates for the Scholars Program will need to demonstrate a specific financial hardship or financial need and will be selected from a minority group.

Criteria for the applicants may include students who come from families where English is only one of the primary languages spoken at home and students who reside in a dangerous neighborhood or community with a lack of other comparable and affordable high school options. The Scholars will also take part in a mentoring program at Saint Ignatius.

Each Hobson scholar will need to maintain a 3.0 GPA and must remain in good standing in terms of behavior and the Saint Ignatius academic code of conduct. Hobson Scholars will be encouraged to participate in extracurricular activities and leadership opportunities and required to participate in a service component to promote a well-rounded educational experience. Hobson scholars will also show leadership skills and attitudes of “men and women for others.”

The entire Saint Ignatius school community expresses their sincere gratitude for Mellody Hobson’s generosity throughout the years. She has funded the Mellody Hobson ’87 Endowment for Economics Education and her thoughtful and substantial contributions will, through the George Lucas Family Foundation, allow us to provide much needed resources to support these students.

Hundreds Gather for Dedication of Anthony J. Fornelli ’51 Field

In late October, the Saint Ignatius College Prep family was pleased to honor our alum with the

dedication of the school’s athletic field as the new Anthony J. Fornelli ’51 Field. Mr. Fornelli ’51 has been a long time benefactor of Saint Ignatius College Prep. He and his late wife, Angela, are the parents of five daughters: Angela, Jeanine, Madelyn (Dec’d), Marguerite, and Toni and numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren. Mr. Fornelli had previously established financial aid endowments at Saint Ignatius and also created the school’s Anthony J. Fornelli ’51 Alumni Lounge that is used by alumni, faculty, and staff of the school.

Regarding the new gift and the naming of the field, Vice President of Development, John Chandler, said, “Both Fr. Caruso and I are extremely grateful for the generosity Mr. Fornelli has shown towards his alma mater for so many years. This new naming of the athletic field will create a lasting legacy that will serve as a fitting testament to Mr. Fornelli’s support of our school.”

Tony Fornelli ’51 has been director of the Illinois Department of Financial Institutions, chair of the Chicago Plan Commission and commissioner of the Chicago Zoning Board of Appeal. Tony also worked for the City of Chicago Corporation Counsel where he won the lion’s share of the cases he tried. He is always giving his time, money and

efforts to friends, the profession and those less fortunate in the community. He is a true giant to those who know him. He was also honored with the Prime Minister of Israel Medal for his dedication to civil rights.

From 1979 to 1996, Tony was unselfishly responsible for putting together Festa Italiana on Chicago’s lakefront at great personal expense in time and resources. Tony is also the publisher of Fra Noi Newspaper for Chicago’s Italian-American community. He served as president of the Joint Civic Committee of Italian-Americans and was a major influence in this umbrella organization many years before and since. Tony always has and continues to consider himself first and foremost a lawyer and a father. Tony is a past president of the Justinian law society and is one of the founders of Casa Italia in Stone Park, IL which is dedicated to preserving Italian-American culture. Tony Fornelli was a founding board member of the Italian American Political Coalition and served as its President and was recently honored by the Cannata Report at their annual charity dinner in New Jersey.

Renee Lee is a longtime member of the Arts Department as Saint Ignatius College Prep. Among her many contributions to the creative development of our

students, Lee has recently implemented a new program called “The Memory Project” which links together students’ artistic expression with the Jesuit mission of social justice. “The Memory Project”, as their website explains, is where “art students create portraits for youth around the world who have been neglected, orphaned, or disadvantaged – These portraits in the end are given to each orphan child to keep.”

Lee was introduced to “The Memory Project” by a former student, Sylvia Edoigiawerie ’14. “Sylvia,” Lee explains, “was a great art student [and was also a featured artist in the Alumni Magazine’s ‘The Gallery’]. She was very self-motivated, and loved entering art competitions, so she was always digging around online for things to do and she discovered this. Sylvia received the art award last year at her graduation. Anyway, I thought it was a great idea and I’m grateful to her that she brought it to my attention.”

This is Lee’s second year doing the project with students. Seven students participated last year with an orphanage in Haiti, and this year the program has expanded with twenty students working with an orphanage in India. Lee shared about why she decided to implement the program at Saint Ignatius and the impact it has had on her students already. “It seemed a great opportunity to also talk about portraiture and to teach the kids the old master method of oil painting. They are really doing an incredible job. They have been completely silent and focused every day. I think it struck a chord in them…that not only will these kids have these portraits for their entire

lives but also that they will be treasured objects by people who are starting off with very little and in a very tough way. The fact that someone labored and spent many hours trying to render every detail of their faces and every wisp of their hair is

a beautiful thing. It’s a very touching thing to watch, and to think about. It means so much more than just … I am making something look real.”

Lee hopes the effects of this project will stay with her students long after the project commences. “My hope is that the students will never forget the face of the child they painted. I hope that just as the kids at the orphanage will treasure their painting for a lifetime, I hope that my students will not forget that child’s face…wonder how they are and how their life is. Actually, I hope they will see everyone differently in the end. That’s what we do here in the art department. We teach people how to see, how to hear, how to be more aware and in tune. I had a professor who described it once as being people of ‘sensibility’. I always liked that. When the portraits are delivered, my students will be enclosing a picture of themselves, as well. So the kids will be able to see who painted them.”

When asked about her vision for the future of “The Memory Project”, Lee sees great potential for its lasting impact in her classroom and on the school culture. “I would love to see even more kids participate. It is difficult to find a project that makes connections between the arts and peace and justice. I love how the formal aspects of teaching them this method of painting, the act of seeing, the very physical aspects of the paint and the materials, the making of a thing, trying to recreate the curve of the shadow on a cheek and the reflection of light in a child’s eyes connects up so well with all the intangible things that are so hard to teach. That is what art is to me, spirit made manifest, and these kids get it 100%.”

Women’s society holiday event a huge successIn mid-November, hundreds gathered in Tully Hall at school for the annual Women’s Society Holiday Shopping event. This extravaganza was a fun evening of shopping and socializing while showcasing small businesses, many of which are owned by members of the Ignatius community. Throughout the entire evening, there were opportunities to purchase items from businesses, win fantastic prizes donated by the various vendors, eat, drink, and contribute towards the Women’s Society annual philanthropy project—the maintenance of the 6 saint statues in the stairwell niches of the main school building. Thanks for helping to make this such a successful event. Save the Date… the Women’s Society Signature Event spring dinner will take place at school on May 7, 2015.

oliver carr ’16Oliver Carr’s first memory of artistic expression was from his days as a creative kindergartener. “I really enjoyed drawing so my mom cleared out this little closet in our house and set up an art desk for me. I would spend hours in that closet drawing Power Rangers.”

The inspiration Carr drew from fictitious action heroes as a six year old is not too far a cry from his sources of creativity as a rising teen artist, only now those action heroes are from real life. “I find my inspiration to create from World War II photography and artists. The World War II photography gives me a source of powerful images to draw. The artists have set the bar that I strive for.” Beyond photography and artists from this time period, Carr is also influenced by other politically-driven artists. “My favorite artist is Banksy. His simple but creative images always have a lot of weight behind them, especially when considering the social statements he makes. He uses a lot of juxtaposition in his art which I absolutely love.” Oliver also enjoys Aubrey Breadsley’s dark drawings and works by Leonardo da Vinci. You can see some of Oliver’s work displayed here.

Carr is a junior at Saint Ignatius and is currently taking Advanced Studio Art in SI’s Fine Arts Program. He is also planning on entering an art program at Columbia College Chicago for some supplemental art classes. In the future, Oliver is unsure of his specific path, but knows he wants to include art in it. He hopes to attend an art school for college.

Saint Ignatius College Prep, traveling together with members from all 4 Chicago Jesuit schools and Cristo Rey St. Martin, sent 14 student and adult delegates to join the over 1,600 attendees for an inspirational weekend at the 17th annual Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice (IFTJ). The Teach-In took place in the Washington DC area from November 15-17. The IFTJ is an annual nationwide Catholic social justice conference sponsored by the Ignatian Solidarity Network. Teach-In attendees represented over ninety-five Catholic institutions in twenty-five states, Canada, El Salvador, and Mexico. This year’s Teach-In coincided with the 25th anniversary of the murders of six Jesuit priests, killed in El Salvador on November 16, 1989, by Salvadoran military for their defense of

the economically poor. The IFTJ started in 1997 in conjunction with the School of the Americas Watch movement to close the former U.S. Army School of the Americas. In 2010, the IFTJ moved from Georgia to Washington, D.C., to more directly impact public policy with legislative advocacy.

Beyond inspiring speakers, a Spirit-filled communal celebration of the Eucharist, policy briefings, and a prayer vigil honoring all those Jesuits who have been martyred while working for justice since Pedro Arrupe’s “Men and Women for Others” speech, our Saint Ignatius College Prep delegates also joined 1,000 of the Teach-In participants who collectively met with 100+ U.S. Congressional offices during

a legislative advocacy day on Monday, November 17. Saint Ignatius students met individually with staffers and lawmakers, including Senator Mark Kirk (R, IL) to urge Congress to pass humane comprehensive immigration reform, support human rights oriented policies in Central America, and respond to climate change negatively impacting the economically poor across the world. Teach In student delegates will play a large role in planning an Immigration Summit for the entire Ignatius community on Ash Wednesday, February 18th. This interdisciplinary dive into the complex realities of immigration, as our final Ignatian Values Day of the year, will focus on the “human face” of immigration.

Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice

school celebrates First Ignatian Value dayFor our first Ignatian Values Day, we picked up the theme of God’s calling for our lives: “Vocation Today, Vocation Tomorrow” which was at the center of our prayer and reflection. We began the day, invoking the Spirit’s blessing, with the celebration of the Eucharist in Holy Family Church where Fr. Caruso, SJ was the main celebrant. We were also honored to welcome Dr. John Neafsey, (Psy.D, & MA in ministry) to Ignatius. After serving as a faculty member for Loyola University in both Psychology and Theology, John currently serves as a staff psychologist at the Heartland Alliance Marjorie Kovler Center, a treatment center for immigrant survivors of torture in Chicago. John’s talk, “Personal Calling and Social Conscience”, was based on his book, A Sacred Voice is Calling: Personal Vocation and Social Conscience (Orbis Books, 2006), a text that is used by our Senior Immersion Religious Studies classes.

Students Are Men and Women for Others at Christopher ChristmasThis past December, the Saint Ignatius school community celebrated the 14th year of Christopher Christmas as our student volunteers spread holiday cheer at the Christopher School in Chicago. This annual service project took place on December 8 and the generosity of our students came out on this amazing day as they became true men and women for others. We had 167 students plus the Pep Band and Pack a Pella students giving up their day off from school to sing songs, play games and make crafts with the students of the Christopher School. All of this was coordinated by Susan Weiss from College Counseling and Emily Paulus from Student Activities and the other members of the Saint Ignatius Student Council.

In addition, all participants helped fulfill the wishes of the students at the Christopher school with over $11,000 worth in gifts donated by students, faculty and staff. A special thanks goes out to faculty and staff members who chaperoned the day: Erik Eastman, Maureen Lonergan, Jason Steffen, Matt O’Keefe, Sandie Bulmann, Erin Luby, and Courtney Crawford. It was amazing to see our students spend their day off with this special group of kids and we want to thank everyone involved for their generosity.

Students Take Part in Kino Border InitiativeFrom July 26 through August 2, 2014, six students and three adults from Saint Ignatius traveled for the first time to Nogales, Arizona/Mexico to partner with the Kino Border Initiative (KBI) as part of Formation and Ministry’s summer service immersion program. Founded in 2009, KBI is a Jesuit ministry at the border that seeks to provide humanitarian assistance and raise awareness about the unsustainable reality of current US immigration policy. KBI’s threefold outreach--education, advocacy and direct social service—seeks to accompany recently deported immigrants and work for a more humane immigration policy between the United States and Mexico.

Each day, Saint Ignatius students crossed over the border to serve at the comedor (soup kitchen). Following a prayer and presentation about human rights and legal options, Ignatians shared a meal and conversation with many migrants who offered profound and difficult stories about their reasons for migrating. Later in the week, students traveled to the Kino women’s shelter and learned about the many families separated by current immigration policy. They began to appreciate the truly complex challenges of immigration following a meeting with local Arizona ranchers, who related accounts of drug trafficking and garbage frequently left behind by migrants. The Saint Ignatius group also traveled to Tucson, where they attended immigration court to witness migrants charged with the felony of illegal entry. They also shared Mass and dinner with Bishop Gerald Kicanas, a leader in the Catholic Church’s efforts to promote a more humane immigration system. As the nation continues to debate next steps for immigration policy, Saint Ignatius students hope to share their firsthand experiences from Nogales with others.

Back in October, school President, Fr. Michael Caruso, SJ, made his final religious profession in a Mass at Holy Family Church. Hundreds from the school community

came out to witness Fr. Caruso making his Final Vows and to celebrate afterward with a reception at school in Tully Hall. Here’s more about what Final Vows are:

“Father General Adolfo Nicolas issues the call to Final Vows. After two years of novitiate, a man asks to pronounce his first vows, which make him a member of the Society of Jesus. Many years later, the Society of Jesus invites a man to final vows that convey the message that what was initially promised in first vows has come to fruition. By demonstrating his commitment to the Society’s mission, a Jesuit shows that he should be called to full incorporation into the Society. There are important milestones along the way – such as doing ministry, finishing advanced degrees…but final vows makes a public statement about a Jesuit belonging in the company of his brothers.

Just before communion, the provincial holds the chalice and consecrated host, as the Jesuit pronouncing his vows kneels and reads a hand‑written copy of the vow formula, which he will sign after Mass. That paper then goes to the Jesuit headquarters in Rome as a permanent record.” (Adapted from Jesuit Life, Spring-Summer 2014.)

Below is the Vow Formula and what Fr. Caruso said during his Final Vows Mass: I, Fr. Michael

Caruso, make my profession, and I promise to Almighty God, in the presence of the Virgin Mother, the whole heavenly court, and all those here present, and to you, Reverend Father Brian Paulson, representing the Superior General of the Society of Jesus and his successors and holding the place of God, perpetual poverty, chastity and obedience; and, in conformity with it, special care for the instruction of children, according to the manner of living contained in the apostolic letters of the Society of Jesus and its Constitutions. I further promise a special obedience to the Sovereign Pontiff in regard to the missions according to the same apostolic letters and the Constitutions.

Being alumni of Saint Ignatius means many things – particularly as our former students endeavor

to live out the mission that was at the forefront of their years spent at 1076. Among the new projects in the Development Department this year is outreach to our young adults on college campuses and continuing into the years beyond specific to the value of living as Men and Women For and With Others.

In addition to the ongoing efforts of the Young Alumni Society, day-long opportunities have been planned throughout the school year for undergrads and other interested folks to serve in the Ignatian tradition. First semester events took place on

September 27 in Champaign-Urbana, October 25 in Milwaukee, November 22 in Boston, and December 6 in South Bend. Upcoming dates include January 17 in Cincinnati, February 14 in Los Angeles, March 28 in St. Louis, as well as an April day of service in Chicago. Alumni will also partner with Saint

Ignatius, Cristo Rey, Christ the King, and Loyola Academy in the Chicago Jesuit Day of Service on February 16, 2015.

The schedule of service events noted here include the opportunity for our young graduates to join hands in work and share in the fellowship of a non-dormitory meal (perhaps a popular selling point). True to their Ignatian roots, one campus team has committed to ongoing service at the youth shelter they recently served.

Those interested in participating in the second semester events should email Adrienne McArdle at least two weeks prior to the date relevant to your location ([email protected]). Also on the agenda for further development is the possibility for an Ignatian Alumni Pilgrimage. Saint Ignatius College Prep is continues to work in close partnership with Charis Ministries in order to provide our alum with quality retreat experiences. Charis presents several alternatives for nurturing the spirituality of those in their 20’s and 30’s. In addition to being invited to participation as a retreatant, the Charis staff seeks to employ the gifts of alum as facilitators. Visit www.charisministries.org for more information.

Alumni Give Back at 2nd Annual “Service JUG”On Saturday October 25th, nearly 45 young alums, organized by the Saint Ignatius Young Alumni Service Committee,

met for a quick breakfast at the Anthony Fornelli ’51 Lounge on May Street before heading down to Epiphany Catholic School for the 2nd Annual Service JUG. At Epiphany everyone spent the morning helping with some much

appreciated maintenance work, repainting the cafeteria as well as the second floor hallway and the stairwell. Epiphany’s principal, Scott Ernst, and several school families came out to observe and express their gratitude. After wrapping up for the day at Epiphany, the group boarded a bus back to the Lounge and called it a day. A big thank you to the Young Alumni Service Committee and the good folks at Big Shoulders Fund for help in organizing the event, and obviously a big thank you to all the young alums that made the day such a success.

A Call for Old Ignatius Materials

Most alumni and friends of Saint Ignatius College Prep think that the land north of Holy Family Church west of the McLaughlin Theater along May Street has always been vacant. In fact, 11th Street ran through what is now the McLaughlin Theater and the intersection of 11th and May Streets was the sight of the first Holy Family Church. Upon securing the land, Father Arnold Damen, S.J. immediately built a frame combination church and school building, which was dedicated July 11, 1857.

The small church was immediately too small for the number of parishioners, who came from an area extending from the south branch of the Chicago River to Robey Street, the current Damen Avenue. Fr. Damen immediately started raising funds for the permanent church and laid the cornerstone for the current Holy Family Church on August 26, 1857, six weeks after the dedication of the frame church.

The present Holy Family Church was dedicated on August 26, 1860 with a Solemn Pontifical High Mass, with 14 bishops in attendance from dioceses in the Midwest. The old frame church continued to serve as a school until it burned down in 1864.

With the continuing growth of the parish came the establishment of more organizations, societies, sodalities, choirs and bands aimed at different segments of the parish community: the Married Men’s Sodality, Young Men’s Sodality, Married Ladies Sodality, Young Ladies Sodality, Working Boys Sodality, St. Agnes’ Sodality for Working Girls, Ephpheta Sodality for the deaf, Altar Society, Ushers Society, League of the Sacred Heart, Rosary Society, St. Vincent DePaul Society, and others which space does not permit. The parish needed a place to house all these organizations. In June 1878, Father Peter C. Koopmans, S.J., pastor of Holy Family, laid the cornerstone for the new Sodality Hall, to be built on the corner of 11th and May Streets, the site of the original frame church. It was a three story structure which contained meeting rooms and storage space for the various organizations and a lending library run by the Married Ladies Society to provide wholesome literature to the parishioners. There was also a large chapel. The Sodality Hall was also the site in 1883 where parishioners organized the Catholic Order of Foresters, a benevolent association which still provides insurance protection to its members throughout the Midwest. The hall appeared to have something going on every day of the week given the number of societies in what had become in the 1880s, the largest Catholic parish in the United States.

By the beginning of the twentieth century, the enrollment in Holy Family parish began its long decline, as parishioners moved away to newer neighborhoods and the suburbs. The sodality hall became little used and was in poor condition. It was torn down in 1958.
