Fall Apostolic Campaigns Have Begun!


Thy Kingdom Come!

Dear Everest Families and Friends in Christ,

I'm happy to begin my first school year here at Everest. I'm excited to have the opportunity to participate in the excellent works of apostolate organized by the school. The deepest mysteries of the human heart are discovered only in the gift of self to others. Our apostolates provide students with the opportunity to enter into the lives of those in need, and in so doing to learn the meaning of their own.

Change for Change launches this month to help support Mano Amiga students which we have adopted through our material and spiritual support.  For the past few years, we have been supporting Juan Pablo and Amayrani.  Please prayerfully consider how you might support these children.  You can learn more about Mano Amiga schools by visiting

The Everest Annual Coat Drive begins next month in October.  Men's, women's, and children's coats will be collected both new and used to be donated to those who suffer winter most bitterly.  This project serves local families in our community and is held in cooperation with Hope and Friendship Ministries.

Let us undertake the mission before us with humility and diligence so that God may be glorified in the lives of these young students entrusted to our care.

Yours in Christ,

Br Brett Taira, LC

 



About Everest

Everest Academy Lemont, founded in 1995 as White Pines Academy, is a private Catholic school offering a Pre-K through grade 8 program.

Our goal is to offer each child the highest quality education through Integral Formation®, the pedagogical method developed by the Legionaries of Christ. Through Integral Formation®, each student benefits from a personalized approach that develops the whole person, from intellect and character to spiritual life and apostolic responsibility. The result: intelligent, responsible, and positive leaders who will transform society with the Gospel values.

Here at Everest Academy, with our brand new campus opened for the fall 2009 school year, we are poised for growth and ready to give our students a Catholic educational experience that will last them a lifetime. Find out more by taking a tour of our campus.
