St. Ignatius understood that teaching was a powerful means to form the hearts and minds of those who in turn would influence many others. To prepare Ramblers for lives of faith, leadership and service, we must invest in the ongoing professional and spiritual growth and development of our faculty and staff.
 
Rev. Gregory J. Ostdiek, SJ, invites you to join him for this special event to celebrate Loyola Academy’s excellence in education by honoring several community members who have positively impacted our Rambler students.
 
Reduced pricing will be available for faculty, staff, and young alumni from the Classes of 2012 to 2019.

    Loyola Academy established the Rev. Daniel A. Lord, SJ, Award in 1963 to honor those who have provided distinguished service in the cause of youth. The award is named for Rev. Daniel A. Lord, SJ (1888–1955), who was an example of how one man, born more than a century ago, made a difference in the lives of many young people. Fr. Lord believed in young people, and he believed in ideas and in communication. He worked endlessly with the youth of his day and was regenerated by their vigor and their idealism.
