Iona Preparatory School

Our Gaels brought their competitive spirit to campus today for Iona Prep’s annual Olympic Day.

Students came together to represent their houses in a full day of games and challenges, putting their teamwork and school pride on display. From competing in events to cheering on their teammates, our Gaels embraced a favorite Prep tradition and the chance to spend the day together as brothers.

Thank you to our students, faculty, and staff for making Olympic Day another memorable day at the Prep!

Live, Jesus, In Our Hearts, Forever!

This weekend, 18 Edmund Rice Christian Brother schools from around the world will gather in New Jersey for the annual . But before departing for the retreat center, a half dozen toured Iona Prep and Iona University to experience a day in North American Christian Brother schools.

This afternoon we were overjoyed to welcome our brother and sister from St. John's Christian Brothers College in Capetown, South Africa; Ardscoil na Mara in Tramore, Ireland; Fe y Alegria in Lima, Peru; Colegio Stella Maris in Montevideo, Uruguay; Colegio Cardenal Newman in Buenos Aires, Argentina; and Damien Memorial High School in Honolulu, Hawaii.

It was so inspiring to hear the exchange of languages, the sharing of foods and favorite sports, and the Edmund Rice Advocacy and Catholic faith that unites us all. Save maybe the greatest fútbol player of all time...there was no settling that debate 🤣. But a deftly-placed piano in the Verni theater, sweet vocals from South Africa and some Journey lyrics definitely brought everyone together!
