Hawk Happenings
Colleges on Campus
37 colleges and universities joined us on campus, giving our Upper School students the opportunity to connect with admissions representatives from across the country.
Alumni in Hungary
CPS graduates, now studying in Rome, made a stop in Hungary to explore their Cistercian heritage. Hayden, Nam, and Max (CPS Class of ’24) met up with Fr. John Bayer in Budapest. Max even brought his Cistercian hat.
Confirmation
Fr. Abbot Peter administered the Sacrament of Confirmation to 39 Cistercian boys in the Abbey Church.
Spring Sports
From the diamond to the fairway, the courts to the track, Spring has been a busy season for Cistercian Athletics. Go Hawks!
Service Project
Form IV students helped beautify the Cross Country trail as part of their Confirmation service project. With rakes and fresh mulch, they cared for the wooded path many of our boys run throughout the year, surrounded by bluebonnets and trees along the Trinity.
Suit up!
Upper School students in Fr. Raphael’s Agriculture Elective recently donned their bee suits to inspect one of our campus hives. They found a healthy amount of honey and brood and even spotted the queen.
Best of all, no stings.
Alfombras de Flores
Form VI Spanish students explored Holy Week (Semana Santa) traditions by creating their own flower carpets.
Blessing of the Bats
Hawk Baseball held their annual Blessing of the Bats with Fr. Anthony this past week. One of Hawk Baseballs best traditions.
Student Council President
This morning, our Student Council President for the 2026–2027 school year was announced. Leadership is handed off. The torch is passed. Ardere et Lucere!
What is happening in the liturgy?
Every morning, monks and nuns — and many lay people — arise early for morning prayer. The Latin name for this prayer, “laudes,” means “praises.” Often the psalms that make up morning prayer are indeed full of expressions of praise. One has inspired in me a reflection on the liturgy.
