Just as St. Juan Diego was asked to build the church by Our Lady of Guadalupe in 1531 in Mexico City, we too are responding to the calling to do the same in our time and place. Through Chesterton Academy of St. Padre Pio, we are preparing young men and women to be joyful witnesses of their faith and respond to God’s personal calling in their lives.

As we enter the third week of Advent, when the hustle of making final preparations for Christmas is upon us, we invite you to take a moment of pause from the rush and consider the beautiful blessing that is the Blessed Mother, who brings us Jesus, the greatest gift to the world. We, like St. Juan Diego, wish to listen to the prompting of the Blessed Mother to “build the church” and bestow “roses of love” to a weary world through our students, who are the hope of the Church.

We wish to invite you to partner with us through considering an offering of prayer and financial support for our school. Your offering will help us ensure more students are educated through the Catholic classical curriculum of Chesterton Academy, and that every student continues to feel truly seen, valued, and supported – a hallmark of our school’s unique culture.

This sense of deep care is woven into the very fabric of our community, shaping a culture in which each child knows they are part of something meaningful. We are asking for your support to help us continue nurturing this extraordinary atmosphere. Your offering will have a lasting impact on the daily lives of our students and the future of our school.

Thank you for believing in our mission and for helping us continue to be a place where every student can thrive.

This challenge begins today on the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe and goes until January 1, the Feast of Mary, Mother of God. Please help us share this far and wide. Below is just a glimpse of more student testimonials to come.
