It's Brophy Arts Week! The orchestra (under the direction of Mr. Miloy Canete) kicks things off with a concert tonight at 7 in Brophy Chapel. Brophy's choirs (under the direction of Mr. Jedd Vergara) and band plus ensembles (under the direction of Dr. Johnathan Robinson) perform later in the week with the Brophy Arts Showcase on Wednesday. Please join us!
We lost a longtime member of our community yesterday with the passing of former coach and faculty member Tim Sanford who worked at Brophy for 30 years. In February, we inducted him into the Brophy Sports Hall of Fame. In 2014, he was inducted into the Arizona High School Coaches Hall of fame.
He became the head football coach in 1985 through 2002 and took the Broncos to the finals in 1996 and 1998. He also taught math and assisted with the track program.
Please keep Tim's family in your prayers.
It was a big night for Brophy Volleyball with a Senior Night celebration, a 25-13/25-17/25-20 win over Hamilton and Andrew Werner '22 getting his 1000th kill! Congrats to Coaches Oldani, Coach Schmidbauer, Andrew and all the Broncos!

We started the Easter Triduum with a Holy Thursday prayer service and today, Easter Sunday, we wish everyone an Easter of hope and renewal as we pray for peace in the world.

In the Synod on Synodality, Pope Francis wants to hear how the Holy Spirit is moving and speaking through all of us, especially young people. This week all Brophy students participated in listening sessions for the synod. Students' reflections on their experience of the Catholic Church will be sent to the Diocese of Phoenix and then to the Vatican. Thank you all for your openness, sincerity and listening!
