Everest Academy Lemont Blog

We at Everest Academy have our Young Lady coworkers who have been with us since the start of the school year. They are a true blessing and have developed the  greatest  ever campaigns, have shared their  talents, gentle touch, kind words, laughter and smiles.  They put together the best ever Living Rosary, All Saints Day Carnival and Mother Daughter activity at Everest as well as numerous activities and help provided.  

More recently in the past month we have now the great benefit of our gentleman coworkers coming to Everest on a regular basis to help us out. They will work in the area of leading in intramural sports, set up library shelves, some maintenance support,  as assistants to our middle school physical education teacher, recess and lunch supervisors and much more…with  their kind and extremely generous donation of their time, talents and  skills.

What a blessing!!   We  thank  them for all they have helped us with already. So far they have served on the All Saints Party team, cleaned and organized all storage areas of the school, washed the walls in the gym, set up for Grandparents day, washed windows  in the chapel, supervised, and arranged sports and games, built the camp out area in the back of the school,  moved massive amounts of mulch on the playground and the
accomplishments go on!!! Not to mention the extra prayers and sacrifices they offer for Everest Academy.

Thank God for our young ladies and gentlemen. We could not do without them! 

These young men and women as you know are giving time to the Church.    100% availability  24/7  to Church projects and apostolates;  these  are our alumni-by their fruits  you shall know them-  cultivating leaders with generous hearts for the world and here we have them at Everest Academy!! 
Through the Regnum Christi Movement,  high school seniors are offered an opportunity to spend years doing
something more in serving the Church. As a way of receiving ongoing integral formation, the coworker program aims to teach young people to take responsibility for the most precious gifts God has given them, their lives, and to take on greater responsibility in building tomorrow's world. It also provides them a venue in which to channel their enthusiasm, strength, energy, creativity and generosity towards Christian ideals.

The Coworker program is a fulfilling and challenging life experience that has been pursued by seniors before beginning their post-secondary studies as a way to build the Church. These youth dedicate one or more years of their lives to full-time apostolic work wherever the Church most needs them, as a particular way to love Christ and encourage others to love him more.  There are volunteers in places as diverse as the United States, Spain, Italy, France, Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Germany, Switzerland, Mexico, Chile, Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia, Argentina and others.
