The Magnificat community strives to examine and understand the root causes of injustices present locally, nationally, and globally through a variety of student-led initiatives and seasonal projects.

Students prepare to deliver donations to our partners and friends in the Cleveland area.

In a spirit of solidarity, the school community extends itself annually in Advent and Lent in an effort to help meet the physical needs of our partners and friends in various communities, while also raising consciousness about the realities that face our sisters and brothers in Christ. Magnificat reaches out in the season of Advent through the Humble Hands project to assist our local and national partners and in the season of Lent through the Lenten Project to assist our global partners.


Students for Peace and Justice identifies and explores social justice issues in our school, local community, and larger world. Our goal is to grow in awareness about these issues and to engage in social action in light of the Gospel call to help build a world of peace and justice where all life is respected and revered. A range of topics are considered based on contemporary issues and student interests. The Gospel, Catholic Social Teaching, and prayer will serve as the touchstones of the group's efforts.

As active members of the Diocesan-wide Catholic Schools for Peace and Justice (CSPJ), Magnificat students also collaborate with other area Catholic high school students in social justice projects and educational events through the school year.
