On Friday, January 21st, in conjunction with the March for Life, Mr. Davis addressed the student body on the legal history preceding Roe vs. Wade and this year’s anticipated decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization. The students were led through a brief history of seminal cases forming the basis of the U.S Supreme Court’s abortion jurisprudence.

For insight into what the students learned, and become informed on this history yourself, see Mr. Davis’s lecture notes on our blog.

Additionally, the students created chalk murals around campus and ended the school day with a holy hour at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church to pray for an end to abortion.

We believe that all high school students should be given the opportunity to experience the great things happening at LGA!

Please invite your friends and family to a Lumen Gentium Academy Open House on Sunday, January 30th, 10:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. in the Our Lady of Mount Carmel School Gym. This is a drop in event for students and families to casually meet LGA faculty, staff, students, and their parents.

We will be hosting an Evening Open House on February 17th, 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. This event will offer a program of speakers to share the LGA mission and philosophy, a tour, and an opportunity to meet LGA faculty, staff, students, and parents.

Let’s not let any high schooler miss out on the life-changing education that Lumen Gentium Academy offers! Please invite your friends!

If your student is ill or will be missing school, please let us know each day your student will be out. We need parent or guardian notice of all absences. Multiple days may be reported at once, but please report each subsequent day of absence due to illness.

Absences can be reported by calling the school at 973-996-4545, emailing school@lumengentium.academy or via our absence report page on the Parent Portal.

It’s the time of year when inclement weather can change our plans! Snow day alerts will be sent via text and email through the school’s messaging service. If you have not received emergency notifications this last week, please let us know at school@lumengentium.academy.

If you would like to receive texts alerts, please text START to 22838.
