On Monday, June 1, Archbishop Gustavo García-Siller and
Catholic Schools Superintendent Marti West, recognized the 10 Archbishop Medallion winners in a ceremony and reception at Assumption Seminary. The selected students were awarded this coveted honor based on their Christ-centered commitment to their schools, parish and community. At the close of the reception Archbishop Gustavo imparted words of wisdom for the students to take to heart and live by as they move forward, “we are not on this world to be served, but to serve.”

For the second year in a row,
40% of the Archbishop’s Medallion recipients were Hope for the Future recipients. Congratulations to all students and their families! You can catch the ceremony and hear directly from the students in July on Catholic Television San Antonio (CTSA) on Time Warner Cable Channel 15 during the ‘On the Scene’ program.
