Congratulations Josh Hays!

February 13, 2024 | Media

At a special dinner on February 10, 2024, The Catholic Foundation presented Cistercian junior Josh Hays with the Hal Tehan Scholar Award. In attendance were many of his teachers and friends across the high school, and they all cheered as Hawks always cheer — loudly! — when Josh was called to the stage to receive the award and read his winning essay about Catholic education. As the one recipient among all local Catholic schools, it is a great honor to receive this award, and we are very proud of him and very grateful to The Catholic Foundation! Ardere et lucere!

Thank you to all the performers for making it a night to remember!

Silence and the Word

When Moses asks God to provide a name that he might share with the enslaved Israelites in Egypt, “God replied to Moses: ‘I am who I am.’ Then He added: ‘This is what you will tell the Israelites: I am has sent me to you.’ God spoke further to Moses: ‘This is what you will say to the Israelites: The Lord, the God of your ancestors, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you’” (Exodus 3:14-15).

What is a man? Discovering masculinity through faith, humility

What is a man? That’s a wonderful question that seems difficult to raise without provoking strong reactions.
