Father-Son Spring Break Pilgrimage: Walk the Camino de Santiago March 5-13, 2027

Join Fr. Eamonn for a once-in-a-lifetime experience on the Camino de Santiago! Designed for 7th and 8th grade boys (both incoming and newly graduated) and their fathers, this is more than simply a walk across Spain. It is a pilgrimage that has inspired travelers for centuries - an unforgettable journey of faith, friendship, challenge, and discovery. 

Over six days and 115 kilometers (72 miles), fathers and sons will journey together on foot through some of Spain’s most breathtaking countryside, following the ancient paths that lead pilgrims to Santiago de Compostela. Along the way, participants will share meaningful conversations, moments of prayer and reflection, and the thrill of adventure together. 

The Camino has a unique way of deepening spiritual and human relationships, building character and resilience, and creating lifelong memories. Whether you are seeking adventure, connection, spiritual renewal, or simply quality time together away from the distractions of daily life, this pilgrimage offers a truly extraordinary experience. 

Come walk the Camino and discover why this ancient pilgrimage continues to transform hearts today. Register today!

Conquest Club (5th-8th grade boys)

Conquest meets every 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month from 7:00–8:30 p.m. in the GSC. The 1st meeting is 9/9/26! Dads are always welcome and encouraged to attend. Bring a friend! Come in casual or sports clothes, and bring a Bible or New Testament if you can.

Conquest is a virtue-based, teen-led program that helps adolescents grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ while developing as Christian leaders. The program is gender-specific, team-based, and service-driven, designed to respond to the real needs of today’s youth.



If you have any questions or if you would like to register please contact Fr. Chad Everts LC at ceverts@legionaries.org.

Uniform Requirements!

Thank you for your patience as Risse Brothers worked through shipping delays at the start of the school year. Now that uniforms have been delivered, we will begin enforcing the official school uniform policy after Labor Day. Please see below for the uniform changes in detail!

Smart Families Back To School!

We do not have to accept today’s smartphone culture as inevitable. In this year’s Smart Families Back-to-School Video, students, parents, teachers, and school leaders show what becomes possible when a community chooses a different path. Smart Families provides knowledge, resources, and guidance, but lasting change happens when families and schools move forward together. The tools are here. The path is clear. The time to make a change is now. Watch the video, share the message, and take the next step with us.

Join Us for the First PTO Meeting of the Year!

Elementary Athletics

Thank you to those that signed up for WHCSA soccer! We have over 200 students participating! The teams are being formed, coaches will be confirmed, and info will be sent out next week!

Middle School Athletics

Well our Middle School athletes are all ready to start their season!

Our Cheerleading squad is ready to show their SAINT spirit! Football has been on the field for 2 weeks and we have a great group of players that are working hard in practice. Volleyball & Soccer have completed tryouts and their teams are formed.  

Cross Country Practice began this week with practice on campus for this first week (August 24, 25th, and 27th). Starting August 31 practices will be held on Mondays and Thursdays at Terry Hershey Park, Wednesdays at StJPII Campus.

Please make sure to provide a 2026-27 Pre-Participation Physical form for each of your student athletics.

Terry Hershey Park practice location is:   1011 S HWY 6 Houston, TX 77077

We also need parental help at Cross Country practices at Terry Hershey Park. Running at the park gives the athletics an opportunity to run on varied surfaces but everyone does not run at the same pace so extra hands and eyes are a must. If you are interested in volunteering please contact Coach Jones Laverne_j@sbcglobal.net.

Please visit the Athletics Calendar for information on Practice and Game dates and times.

All Athletic Practice (Football, Soccer, Volleyball) is canceled on Wednesday August 26th for Parent Night!
