Since Jesuit High School’s beginning, Campus Ministry has been guiding students along their spiritual journey on and beyond campus. This year, Campus Ministry hopes to maintain their welcoming spirit with the addition of new faces and a new look.

Since 1969, the Holy Bowl has been more than just a football game. It is one of the largest sporting events of the year, and fans from high schools across the region come to Sacramento City College to witness the well-known rivalry between Jesuit High School Sacramento and Christian Brothers High School. 

This year, Jesuit High School bested the Christian Brothers Falcons 28-7.

Jesuit High School Sacramento’s annual Holy Bowl is one of the largest sporting events of the year. On the Friday night before the game, Jesuit hosts the Holy Bowl Rally, an opportunity for students to show up and show out to support the brotherhood.

Each year, Jesuit High School Sacramento joins schools and communities across the United States in observing National Suicide Prevention Week. The week, centered around National Suicide Prevention Day, offers the time to shine a light on this heavy topic and works to combat the stigma around suicide.

Every year, Jesuit High School Sacramento hosts its Club Day, where students can explore opportunities to pursue their personal interests on campus. This year’s Club Day will take place on Thursday, Sept. 4th, in the senior quad during an extended lunch period.

On Friday, Aug. 22, Jesuit High School Sacramento held its annual Mass of the Holy Spirit to welcome new and returning students to campus. 

Director of Campus Ministry Mr. Adam McGrew recognizes how the mass gives an opportunity for the community to come together and kick off the new school year.

25 years of memories made. Thousands of students taught. Latin teacher Mr. Jon Witucki has made his presence known at Jesuit High School Sacramento. With undying dedication and a wealth of knowledge, Mr. Witucki has indisputably made Jesuit a better school. 

“The Monkey” is a horror-comedy film based on the 1980s short story by Stephen King. Directed by Oz Perkins, the movie was released in theaters on Feb. 21, 2025, almost forty-five years after the story’s initial publication.

On Friday, April 4, the highly anticipated and advertised “A Minecraft Movie” premiered, and it did not disappoint. While critics have rather mixed reviews over the movie, it is safe to say that watching this movie on opening day will be a moment remembered by everyone who attended. 

With critics rating the movie at 48% Rotten Tomatoes a few days after release, the movie appears to be unpolished and unappealing to some. When looking at the audience rating of the movie however, it sits at a high 87%. In my opinion, this disparity can be attributed to the fact that watching this movie in a room by yourself is a drastically different experience than watching this movie at your local theatre on opening day. While the movie may not have had the best character arcs or plot, the true entertainment came from crowd interactions, the nostalgia value, and the numerous funny moments from Jack Black and Jason Momoa.
