McQuaid Jesuit

This morning, members of the Class of 2026 gathered for a time of reflection as they prepare for Sunday's Commencement Ceremony.

Students heard remarks from McQuaid alumnus Jack Milko, '16 and participated in a final Examen led by Dr. Damian Zynda, taking time to reflect on their years at McQuaid Jesuit.

Please join us in praying for these young men as they prepare to cross the stage at the Eastman Theatre and begin the next chapter of their lives.

We're half-way through finals week and the McQuaid Jesuit Knights are still going strong!

Please join us in wishing our students good luck as they finish out their exams.

On Saturday morning, McQuaid Jesuit welcomed mothers, grandmothers, and friends of the school community for our inaugural Women's Engagement Event.

Centered around this year's theme, "Her Impact. His Formation.", the gathering created space for meaningful conversation, reflection, and connection among the women whose influence helps shape the lives of McQuaid students both inside and outside the classroom.

Guests heard from an inspiring panel of women who shared their experiences, perspectives, and insights on the lasting impact women have in the formation of young men. Panelists included staff members Heather Whiting, P '25, '28; Vanessa Bucukovski; Lisa Soprano, P '16, '23; Annette Weidmann, P '24, '26; and Mary Salluzzo, P '18, wife of President Steve Salluzzo.

Thank you to all who joined us for this special inaugural event and to the women whose support, leadership, and example continue to strengthen and shape the McQuaid community.

Yesterday was a big day for the McQuaid Jesuit Knights! Congratulations to our Varsity Golf and Varsity Baseball teams on capturing Section V titles!

Join us in congratulating these outstanding student-athletes and wishing our lacrosse and track & field teams good luck as they compete tomorrow. Go Knights!

Today, our McQuaid Jesuit seniors gathered for the annual Mother-Son Brunch, celebrating the mothers and mother figures who have helped shape these young men throughout their journey.

This Memorial Day, McQuaid Jesuit pauses to pray for all of the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. We especially remember the McQuaid alumni who gave their lives in defense of our freedom and the values we hold dear.

This September, McQuaid will unveil the “Circle of the Knight,” a lasting tribute to honor these young men and ensure that every current and future Knight remembers their courage, sacrifice, and commitment to others. May we never forget those who gave everything for our freedom.

A group of McQuaid students will row the full Erie Canal starting June 7 to raise money for Rochester’s House of Mercy. See link below ⬇️
