Sunday, 10 February, 2019

A celebration in honor of Black History Month, the Multicultural Center and Campus Ministries present: A Mass with Father Mario Powell

Arkansas-born Fr. Powell is African-American, raised in an extended family of Southern Baptists (he converted on his own while in 8th grade at a Catholic school in Los Angeles). After considering a path to higher education in 2014. In the end, he pushed aside the Ph.D. applications and took on a fresh challenge as director of REACH (Recruiting Excellence in Academics for Catholic High Schools) at Regis High School in New York. The entirely free program seeks out 5th graders who have high promise as well as high need and helps prepare them to earn a scholarship at a Jesuit high school. Most come from immigrant families, and the Regis team works with them for three years on Saturdays and during the summer.
