The Energizer Bunny Priest . . . There are three things I thought I would never experience in my life as a Jesuit priest. First, I never thought I would have the once-in-a-lifetime chance to found a new Jesuit high school and work with some of the most amazing and generous people I have ever met. Second, I never thought that I would concelebrate mass with a Cardinal of the Holy Roman Catholic Church who enjoys the diplomatic status of prince around the world. Third, I never thought I would ever hear a Cardinal (or a prince for that matter!) refer to me, in front of over 500 people, as the Energizer Bunny, ceding the very same title he held as bishop. My life has been crazy that way this past year and half . . . and I would not want it any other way!

Steps for Students

Join the Cristo Rey Jesuit students, faculty, staff and board members as we participate in the 5th Annual Steps for Students 5K Run/Walk hosted by the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston. The money raised by the Cristo Rey Jesuit team will go towards the education of Cristo Rey Jesuit students. All participants can set up their own personal pledge collection page online to link to Cristo Rey Jesuit.

The walk will take place on Saturday, February 20th at Robertson Stadium on the campus of the University of Houston. A 5K USA Track and Field Association sanctioned race begins at 8:30 am and the 1k beginning at 9:30 am. Houston businesses, corporations, local Catholic parishes and schools will be in attendance. After the 5K and 1K are completed, there will be a Post Race Party with fun activities for children and prize drawings for gifts from the sponsors. It takes only a few minutes to sign up to be on the Cristo Rey Jesuit team! Please visit www.steps4students.org to register.

We are hoping to have t-shirts with the Cristo Rey Jesuit logo if time and budget permits. Please contact Susan Martin, Director of Communications, at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it if you are interested in purchasing one.
