HOLY CROSS AWARDS DR. ERNESTO GUERRA THE 2014 LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD

(San Antonio, Texas) Holy Cross of San Antonio held its third annual President’s Blue & Gold Gala on Sat., Sept. 20 at the JW Marriott Hill Country Resort and Spa. Holy Cross friends and family came together to celebrate the school’s recognition of Ernesto Guerra, M.D.

Dr. Guerra is a highly respected member of the San Antonio medical community. He not only serves the medical community as a Gastroenterology Physician, at his office, the San Antonio Gastroenterology Association, Dr. Guerra is also a member of PASA, BHN. Dr. Guerra completed his internship at the University of Texas at San Antonio. He is board certified, and has affiliations with the Methodist Specialty & Transplant Hospital, Methodist Hospital, Northeast Methodist Hospital, and Metropolitan Methodist Hospital. He also sits on the Board at Holy Cross Community Services of Texas and Holy Cross of San Antonio, where he continues to strengthen and illuminate the path for student success. He is not a graduate of Holy Cross; and yet, he remains a strong advocate for Catholic education especially for those who could not otherwise afford it without the generous support of donors.

All of the proceeds from the President’s Blue & Gold Gala go toward the Fund-A-Knight Program which provides financial aid to families in need. To make a charitable contribution to the program, visit www.HolyCross-SA.org/Donate.aspx.

Holy Cross of San Antonio is an independent Catholic co-educational college preparatory middle and high school.

2014-2015 Student Knight Ambassadors

(San Antonio, Texas) The Student Knight Ambassador Program began in 2012 as part of a commitment to advancing the mission of the school in the larger community. On Sun., Aug. 10, fourteen new ambassadors joined eight veteran ambassadors for a special mass, and induction ceremony at Holy Cross of San Antonio.

“Students receive thorough training in professional and personal etiquette, said Brother Stanley Culotta, C.S.C., M.D. “They represent Holy Cross’ mission out in the community at public events.  It’s a nice group of students who work hard to represent the best attributes of our student body.”

The program was started by its co-sponsors Mrs. Leticia Ramirez and Ms. Elizabeth Eguia-García in 2012. Additionally, Miss Ariana Vega coordinates the ambassadors’ bookings and schedules.

Through the principles of civility, hospitality and loyalty, the mission of the Student Knight Ambassadors is to serve and represent Holy Cross of San Antonio’s student and administration at special events, to promote the vast successes and advancements of the school, and to communicate through all that they do, the virtue of the beloved Blessed Basile Moreau and to live out the Holy Cross Code in daily life.

Holy Cross of San Antonio was recognized today by the South Texas Blood and Tissue Center at its High School Blood Drive kickoff as being one of the top donating schools in the south Texas area.  Copil Mendoza, Anaresa Garcia, Jonathan Gamez and Angelica Idar (not pictured) represented the school.  We won $1,000 for the outstanding level of donation from a smaller school.  Somerset High School and Samuel Clemens High School were also recognized.

Holy Cross has been a leader among high schools in the past several years. High school students make up 30% of the blood donations in the area.
