Annual Report

As I reflect on another incredible year at St. Mary’s Catholic Center, my heart is filled with gratitude. First and foremost, I thank God for His abundant blessings and for the countless ways He continues to work in the lives of our students. I am equally grateful for you, our benefactors, parents, alumni, parishioners, foundations, and friends, whose faithful generosity makes this ministry possible.

Every day at St. Mary’s, we have the privilege of witnessing Christ transform lives. Students arrive at Texas A&M and Blinn searching for friendship, purpose, and truth. Here, they encounter something far greater: the living presence of Jesus Christ. Through the Sacraments, prayer, authentic community, retreats, Bible studies, and countless moments of personal accompaniment, they discover that they are deeply loved by God and called to live as His disciples. 

Our mission is simple, yet profoundly important: to form apostles for the Church and the world. This mission is lived out every day as students grow in faith, courage, and holiness. We watch them become leaders among their peers, serve those in need, discern God’s call for their lives, and embrace the responsibility of sharing the Gospel wherever He leads them. It is a joy to see young men and women leave St. Mary’s prepared not only for successful careers, but for lives rooted in Christ—as faithful spouses, parents, priests, religious, parish leaders, and missionary disciples.

None of this happens without you.

Your generosity is far more than a financial gift; it is an investment in lives that will bear fruit for generations. Every student who encounters Christ, every vocation discerned, every marriage strengthened by faith, every child who will one day be raised in the Catholic faith, and every future parish enriched by these graduates is part of the legacy you are helping to build.

As we look ahead to another academic year, I am filled with hope and excitement. Thousands of new students will arrive on campus, many searching for a place to belong and a faith to call their own. Together, we have the opportunity to welcome them, accompany them, and invite them into a life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ. I have no doubt that the Lord has incredible things in store at St. Mary’s, and I am grateful that you continue to be part of His work.

Thank you for believing in our mission and for walking alongside us in forming the next generation of Catholic leaders. Please know that you and your loved ones remain in my prayers, and may God continue to bless you abundantly for your generosity and faithful partnership.

God Bless & Gig’em!
