U.S. Senator Bob Casey showed his support to volunteers at the MLK Day of Service at Gesu School. 

This MLK Day, Gesu School, St. Joseph’s Prep School, Saint Joseph's University and Interfaith Philadelphia joined forces to organize an MLK Day of Service where over 275 of their community members, as well as U.S. Senator Bob Casey, came to celebrate and honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Gesu School, Girard College, and St. Joseph’s Preparatory School sponsored a gun buyback event on October 29.
Guns were collected by the Philadelphia Police Department. 

Three historic schools in North Philadelphia have formed a new partnership to develop programming and enact change amidst the ongoing gun violence epidemic that is gripping Philadelphia and the nation. Leadership at Girard College, St. Joseph’s Preparatory School, and Gesu School have pledged to combine efforts and resources to create safer communities for their students and neighbors.

The Howley Foundation is partnering with Gesu School and St. Joseph’s Prep to create groundbreaking opportunities for continued access to Catholic education in North Philadelphia. Gesu School and the Prep have shared the same Catholic, Jesuit mission over several decades, a mission that directly aligns with that of the Howley Foundation.

You're invited to Gesu’s 25^th Symposium on Education. This year’s topic is Surviving and Thriving: Supporting Our Teachers in These Challenging Times.

Gesu welcomes our community to the 2022-23 school year! We wish all of our families, students, teachers, and staff blessings as we begin a new year of growing and learning together.
