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.
