Faith in the Presence of God

Christian Brothers High School students have many opportunities to explore and deepen their faith. Through retreats and immersion trips, everyone is invited to connect with God and each other The Lasallian Student Life Office coordinates these retreats, which includes VENAVER

VENAVER is a series of " come and see " immersion trips and offers students opportunities to participate in faith-based experiences that foster human solidarity, cultural awareness, service, and appreciation for the sustaining value of faith in our students' lives Students also experience the realities of structural injustice, oppression, and poverty

"I learned about the many perspectives and nuances of immigration. This helped me gain a more well rounded idea of immigration in its totality," said attendee Abe Francis '23

"As Lasallian Catholics, we are called to seek understanding and empathy with our brothers and sisters who face hardships. This includes advocating for social justice relating to issues along the border," said Anna Fernandez, Assistant Director of Lasallian Student Life.

The trip helped open the students’ eyes and hearts to the complicated situation at the border.

"I will use this experience as a model for gaining a well rounded perspective on any situation that I’m in," said Francis '23.

From January 29 to February 3, 2023, ten Christian Brothers students participated in the El Otro Lado VENAVER program at San Miguel High School in Tucson, AZ

"On the El Otro Lado trip, we did many activities that helped us understand the situation at the Arizona-Mexico border from a variety of perspectives These activities included talking with law enforcement, meeting with an immigration attorney, visiting major crossing sites at the border, and talking with residents of the Tohono O'Odham Nation whose land is split by the border,” said attendee AnnaMaria Thomas '23

“The most important lesson I learned is that there is always hope. The humanity of the volunteers and the courage of the migrants we met inspired me to continue to be an advocate for underserved populations and to use my voice to positively impact the lives of those around me, ” said Thomas '23.
