This note is to share with you the way I live out social justice everyday.  Everyday I go to Our Lady of Tepeyac High School (OLT) where I teach religion to Freshwomen and Sophomores.  These young women are from a low socio-economic class.  Many of them could not afford a Catholic education if it were not for OLT.  OLT has the lowest tuition in the City of Chicago -- $4500.  All the girls receive financial aid in order to come to OLT. 

The school is made up of 85% Latinas and 15% African-American.  When the African-American girls first came eight years ago, there was a lot of drama.  In my religion class I always stress that we are sisters – part of the Christian family.  In the last few years there has been less drama.  

Our focus is to love God with all our heart, and our neighbor as ourselves.
