IMS schools and offices are closed Friday, June 19th in honor of Juneteenth.

Pope Leo XIV reminds us that true peace is inseparable from justice:

Let us never grow weary of seeking justice!”

From St. Martin de Porres to St. Joe's Prep and Beyond 06/15/2026

Silas Griffin is out to do great things. In fact, he's been doing great things since elementary school at St. Martin de Porres School.

From SMdP, Silas enrolled at St. Joseph's Prep where he excelled academically (National Honor Society), athletically (volleyball) and socially (various leadership roles in the Black & Latino Culture Club).

Next, Silas is headed Greensboro, North Carolina in the fall, where he'll begin his electrical engineering degree at North Carolina A&T State University.

His biggest champion since day one? His mother, Selena Gilbert—who just so had the pleasure of interviewing him for this episode of Strong Minds Loving Hearts.

Tune in! ❤️💙

🎥 Hear from founding trustee Dick Nourie as he reflects on the lasting impact of an IMS education.

Every gift to the Annual Fund provides students with the resources, opportunities, and faith-filled education they need to thrive. Together, we can ensure every child has the opportunity to reach their God-given potential.

Consider making a gift before June 30th! Through your commitment, our students are growing into compassionate leaders who are prepared to live lives of purpose. www.imsphila.org/donate ❤️💙
