Indiana’s historic national championship win carries a touch of . Quarterback Fernando Mendoza often shares how much of his strength and faith come from his mom, Elsa (Espino) Mendoza ’95. Her optimism and steady courage reflect the IHM charism of love, creative hope and fidelity, and the sisterhood that has shaped generations of Lourdes girls. We celebrate this moment with their family and honor the influence of one of our own, a beautiful example for all the world to see.

Today we pause to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and reflect on the call to lead with compassion, humility and purpose. At Lourdes Academy we strive to form young women who lift others, serve with intention and use their gifts to make a difference in their communities. Inspired by Dr. King’s words and our mission, may we always choose the path that strengthens sisterhood and brings light to those around us.

Today, on Human Trafficking Awareness Day, our community joins the national campaign to stand in solidarity with survivors and honor all those affected by human trafficking. Wearing blue is a simple but meaningful way to raise awareness, show support and remind one another of the responsibility we share to stay informed, vigilant and compassionate.
