MAGIS: Becoming More, Giving More, Serving More

Today, August 14, 2026, we give thanks for the first group of MAGIS freshmen scholars, who gathered for their Spiritual Formation at the University Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, facilitated by Fr. Tex Paurom, SJ.

A heartfelt thank you to Fr. Tex Paurom, SJ, for generously sharing his time, wisdom, and insights, and for inspiring our scholars to understand and embrace what it truly means to live MAGIS—to love more deeply, give more generously, and serve others with greater purpose.

Grateful for this meaningful beginning and for a formation journey that reminds us that the true measure of MAGIS is not how much more we gain, but how much more we can give for others.
