The Loyola Brotherhood
The brotherhood experience at Loyola High School is built on a foundation of shared values, academic excellence and personal growth. From the moment students step onto campus, they are welcomed into a community that emphasizes integrity, compassion and service to others.
Loyola nurtures a culture where students thrive both in the classroom, but also in extracurricular activities. Our athletic program is designed to inspire, uplift and bring out the best in every student, helping them to develop leadership and teamwork skills that extend beyond the playing field.
At Loyola, the brotherhood is more than just a connection between peers. It is a lifelong commitment to becoming "Men for Others. Men for Detroit." This vision shapes not only their time in school but also prepares them to make a lasting impact on their community and the world. The bond they form here is one that supports them in their journey to becoming men of character, ready to serve with integrity and love.

Loyola High School Community Prayer
-
Before God and all humankind
we pledge the love and loyalty of our hearts,
the wisdom and courage of our minds,
and the strength and rigor of our bodies to the service of one another.
We promise to work for justice, love, and peace, to think creatively and positively.
We commit ourselves to develop ourselves to our fullest potential;
so we can contribute to the growth of the whole human family.
We give thanks even for the personal and communal daily struggles of life
through which we have been challenged to greater efforts.
As we meet the daily contradictions of life,
we know we walk together with one another and with God. We are not alone.
We pledge to develop an appreciation for our history,
to build on its glorious gifts to us
and to learn from its patience and long suffering.
Our traditions teach us to care for one another,
especially when any among us is in want.
We ask one another’s forgiveness
for any time we have forgotten our heritage
and forgotten our brothers and sisters in need.
-
We pledge our self-determination to speak for and name ourselves;
so we can leave the world better than we found it.
Give us the courage to deepen our faith,
a gift from you through our ancestors.
Strengthen our unity; do not let us succumb to division and divisiveness.
Help us to appreciate our differences
as well as cherish our common values and traditions.
Finally, to paraphrase the words of St. Francis, we pray:
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
Where there is hate, let me bring love;
Where malice, healing;
Where unredemption, redemption in Christ Jesus, Our Lord.
Amen.Fr. Martin J. Carter, S.A.
