PAINTING OUR STORY
Thank you for joining us in learning more about Providence Cristo Rey and the incredible work happening in our community. As the year comes to a close, there’s still time to make a difference—your gift supports our mission to provide a faith-filled, college-prep education for every student. If you haven’t given yet, now is the perfect time to help us continue transforming lives.
At Providence Cristo Rey High School, our Catholic faith is more than a belief—it’s the foundation of everything we do. From our classrooms to our community service, every aspect of the student experience is grounded in the teachings of Christ and a commitment to living out our values.
Senior Kyrese Rhodes represents the transformative power of faith-based education. Reflecting on his time at Providence Cristo Rey, Kyrese shares, “Providence Cristo Rey has shown me that people are still striving and working to be as close to God as they can.” His journey showcases how our school shapes students into academic achievers and faithful leaders inspired by the Gospel. Kyrese also reflects on the impact of his Theology classes, saying, “All the knowledge and comfortability I have gained through my Theology classes, I feel more comfortable going to spiritual places.”
Kyrese’s faith journey has been guided by his mentor, Mr. Gonzalez, who has been a key figure in his spiritual growth. As his sponsor for RCIA (the process for individuals to become Catholic and receive the sacraments of initiation), Mr. Gonzalez has supported Kyrese as he prepares to receive the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and the Eucharist, deepening his connection to the Church.
The Eucharist, the source and summit of our faith, is at the heart of our community. It nourishes us spiritually and drives our mission to provide a rigorous college-prep education rooted in Catholic values. Our students, like Kyrese, grow academically, spiritually, and morally—preparing to make a meaningful impact on the world.
Your support ensures that Providence Cristo Rey remains a place where faith and learning flourish together. When you give, you help us:
-
Provide resources for Catholic education, including faith formation programs and retreat opportunities
-
Expand access to a college-prep education for students who might not otherwise have the opportunity
-
Continue to celebrate the Eucharist as a community, nurturing students’ spiritual growth alongside their academic success
By making a gift today, you’ll empower students like Kyrese to live their faith and achieve their dreams. Together, we can continue to build a community where faith inspires purpose, and purpose drives success.
THE STORY
PCRHS alumna, Cassie Mitchell, PCR Class of 2022, was tasked with designing and painting a 360+ square foot mural in our athletic atrium. Cassie is currently studying graphic design at Marion University and was a founding member of PCR‘s art club. The mural showcases the spirit, mission, and identity of Providence Cristo Rey High School. This was an extraordinary undertaking and took hundreds of hours to design, draw, and paint. A huge thank you to Cassie and to everyone else who helped to make this project possible. While this image symbolizes 17 years of Providence Cristo Rey, we know it will continue to represent us and our school for decades to come.
