On September 21,  following his address to the Ignatius studnet body, select students, teachers, and administrators were able to share food and continued conversation with the honored guest speaker of the day, Cedric Jennings.

The luncheon started with a welcoming introduction from our Principal Mr. Corrigan. Mr. Jennings followed with a prayer of thanksgiving for the wonderful food that was provided. Students and teachers went table by table lining up for a delicious lunch o f breaded chicken, salad, side dishes, and desert.
 
During lunch, students were given the opportunity to  ask Mr. Cedric Jennings questions.   Among the interesting facts that emerged in the luncheon:   Cedric Jenning’s is a vegetarian!

Freshman Vincent Hwang found the event a worthwhile experience.  “Obviously the food was very good,\” he said, \”and it was very interesting to learn more about Cedric and his journey through high school, college, and the world beyond.””
