Theme

This year, the Gloriam 2026 theme was inspired by our AP Latin students, who participated in a special assignment to propose Latin phrases that capture the spirit of Gloriam and mission of Saint Ignatius. After much consideration, the winning theme—Lumen Quod Relinquimus, translated literally as “The Light We Leave Behind”—was selected for its beautiful expression of legacy and shared purpose. Interpreted idiomatically as Carry the Torch, this theme honors those who have illuminated the path before us and calls our community to continue that light for generations to come.

Thank you to Grace Sawicz ‘26, Clare Kennedy ‘26, and Margaret Hickey ‘26 for their winning submission, and to Mr. Sparapani, Dr. Cirulli, and the AP Latin students for their thoughtful partnership.
