These are just a few of the influential Marianists in Central Catholic's storied legacy. They are also the namesake of our new House System at Central Catholic.

Today, our young men conducted their first student leader-led House Meetings across campus. They planned how to grow closer as brothers and strategize on how to win the Inaugural House Cup.

Earlier this morning, several families gathered on the front steps this morning to pray and perform a Rosary Walk with Chaplain Father Pat McDaid around the campus to ask God for strength and protection for our young men and sons.

Central Catholic High School has been educating young men in the Marianist spirit since 1852 and today was our 172nd First Day of School!

This afternoon, legendary Coach Joe Cortez ‘50 was honored with being inducted into the inaugural Texas Private Schools Hall of Fame for his storied career in building the best teams and mentoring future leaders.

Cortez coached the Buttons from 1959 to 1995 and led the team to a record of 791-404, including 10 state championships and a winning streak of 46 consecutive games that stretched from 1964 to 1966. A member of the San Antonio Sports Hall of Fame, Cortez remains the all-time leader in career victories among San Antonio high school basketball coaches.

God our Father,
Bless our fathers. That they may be strengthened as Christian fathers. Let the example of their faith and love shine forth. In moments of joy, rejoice with them. In times of struggle, give them your courage and perseverance. May the example and prayer of St. Joseph inspire them to live their vocation with courage. Grant this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Happy Father's Day to all the fathers, grandfathers, friends and relatives that are like fathers! Especially, we are the Marianist men who protect our mission and are the reason our Brotherhood exists.
