Friends of Cristo Rey,
“May our hope be so outrageously bold that we are afraid people will laugh at us if they knew what we hoped for!”
- Chair Emeritus John P. Foley, S.J.
For the last 27 years, our dreams and vision for this movement have grown and become even more audacious. We invite you to read our 2023 Impact Report, which celebrates our expansion of the dream of a quality Cristo Rey education for students across the country this past year.
These remarkable milestones serve as confirmation that the Cristo Rey mission is full of hope, translating into real impact amplified by the generosity of our partners. As we look to the future, we are encouraged by the impression our alumni are making on the world. Their stories, along with the stories of current and future students of Cristo Rey, inspire us to increase our impact. We are convinced that the Cristo Rey model of education and spirit of innovation will continue to cause people to laugh at our audacity and admire our results.
On behalf of our 12,300 students, 28,000+ graduates, and 39 local school teams, thank you for your belief in and support of this amazing Catholic mission. Together, we will continue to hope in outrageously bold ways.
