Antell Cole, a recent graduate of Saint Joseph’s Prep in Philadelphia, kept a reminder pinned in his notes app on his phone: “don’t forget what you learned at IFTJ.” Inspired by the formation and connections from his participation in 3 different Ignatian Family Teach-Ins for Justice and the formative Arrupe Leaders Summit, Antell was the driving force behind the Prep’s first Interreligious Peacebuilding Summit. Replete with speakers and breakouts just like IFTJ, Antell laid the groundwork for yet another tradition at St. Joe’s Prep that allows students to apply their faith to build a more just world.
