Cristo Rey Orlando

God our Father, we ask you to be with us during the storms of our lives as well as the storms in nature. Protect our families and our homes. We pray for assistance for the victims of hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, and other natural disasters. Loving God, send in more helpers, and multiply resources and supplies for the aid of those in need. We ask for your peace in our hearts as anxiety continues to build. You calmed the storm on the Sea of Galilee; deliver us from the storms that are raging around us now. Amen. 💛💙

Jobs Partnership and Cristo Rey Orlando both seek to help individuals discover their God-given talents on a mission towards better livelihoods. JP invited us to join their career fair at UCF Downtown and meet the ambitious families who have participated in their Life Works program and are planning to “unlock a better job and a better life.” We are grateful for their partnership and can’t wait for our CRO families to benefit from their resources! 💛🏫 Viva Cristo Rey!

Celebrating 75 years of community impact! This year, Spice World continues its legacy of generosity by committing a remarkable $75,000 to support local businesses. We are incredibly honored to be included in this generous contribution today. And we were excited to learn that our first day of school, August 11, is the same date. Andrew P. Caneza opened Spice World 75 years ago! Spice World’s gift will support our nutrition program in which students will receive two healthy and delicious meals a day. A special thanks to Pat McAndrew, Drew Caneza, Mike Smith, Austin Buddendorff, and Blake Buddendorff for a great conversation and for witnessing firsthand the incredible progress of our building renovations, including our new cafeteria, named in honor of "Pops" (Andrew P. Caneza), through the generous support of Pops' family, the Andrew P. Caneza Foundation. Thank you, Spice World, for investing in the future of our community! 💛🏫 Viva Cristo Rey.

🫶🎊 We are proud to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month by honoring the rich culture and contributions of our dynamic Cristo Rey community. Our Founding Vice President of Finance & Operations, Carla Merangoli, MBA, shares:  “What a joy to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month and my Mexican heritage by reflecting on the traditions that shaped me, from childhood dances in vibrant dresses to now leading finance and operations at Cristo Rey Orlando High School, a Catholic high school that honors diversity and community. Grateful to bring my heritage into my work and service.” 💛🏫 Viva Cristo Rey!

Nemours, through their #GinsburgInstitute for Health Equity, hosted an inspiring day of collaboration focused on health equity for youth. Cristo Rey Orlando is grateful to be in the room with so many individuals who positively impact young people and we look forward to seeing how this unprecedented collaboration will transform the way we provide services to them and their families. Congratulations and thanks to my friend, Nancy Edwards Molello, for organizing such a meaningful day.

AdventHealth Central Florida continues to think of new ways to support students and families by integrating healthcare into school communities. Thank you Teresa Mairn and Jaycelyn Puttick for visiting and brainstorming with us as we seek holistic care for our Cristo Rey community. 💛🏫 Viva Cristo Rey!

Thank you, Courtney Rayam Hand, Bradley Noel, Johana Santiago-Puckering, and Andy Day, from Cristo Rey Orlando (CRO) for taking the time to visit our United Against Poverty Inc. #UPOrlando campus, learn more about our programs and services, and discuss areas of collaboration and partnership! I am so excited to see the launch of your program at #CRO in 2025. It’s smart and innovative- it’s exactly what we need for our youth in Orlando. Folks- especially those working with low-income families and/or in education with our local youth- if you haven’t heard about #CristoReyOrlando and their outstanding programs, take a look. This is another game changer in #endinggenerationalpoverty, and #uplifting our young people and families! #powerofpartnerships #wearebettertogether #upliftinglives #upliftingcommunity Naydelin Trejo Arianna Tipsword
