Layla, Class of 2025
At Purcell Marian, I’ve come to understand that faith and justice go hand in hand.
One of the most meaningful experiences for me was serving at a mission school in Virginia during my junior year. For a week, I worked with children from underserved communities, helping in classrooms, organizing activities, and learning about their daily challenges. It was in those moments that I learned what it means to proclaim the goodness of God, not just by speaking it, but by living it out through compassion, presence, and service. At every corner, Purcell has an opportunity to serve the community like we are called to.
