Recently, 3 Holy Cross students, Edward, Isabella, and Juliana Guerrero participated in the San Anto Cultural Art’s EcoFilm Camp. At the camp, these students learned from local experts about the environment, pollution, and ways to lessen our carbon footprint through green-living.

Participants were split into groups and each group created a short film based on a specific environmental topic. The films will be premiered at the Guadalupe Cultural Arts Theater on Saturday, July 12th at 6:00 p.m.

We are very proud of these students and encourage our Holy Cross community to go out and support them at the event.

It provides us all another means to support our Holy Cross Mission. Whether it be through an Estate Gift, Equity donation, Life Insurance, or another means, we have a group of supportive professionals that can guide you through the process.

An information session is being held on July 15th, as noted in the attached announcement: EVENT DETAILS 15JUNE2014.  (Space is limited and RSVP is required.)

More information sessions will follow.  The sessions are led by Dr. Robert Ramirez, Mr. Gerry Impelman, and Mr. Michael A Petter.  These professionals are being gracious with their time and talent in support of Holy Cross.  I invite you all to attend one of the sessions and learn how you can extend Your Legacy of Light to Holy Cross of San Antonio.

In Holy Cross,
