The Race Has Been Cancelled
Dear 5K Participants,
The Mission Possible 5K/1K for Catholic Schools has Kicked off the Catholic Schools Week activities for the past two years. However, due to low registration numbers, the Mission Possible 5K/1K for Catholic Schools on January 27, 2024. at 8am has been cancelled. I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you. Pre-registrants have the option of a refund or an in-kind donation to Catholic Schools at: https://runsignup.com/Race/TX/Beaumont/MissionPossible5kRunWalkforCatholicSchools
If you choose a refund it will be processed as soon as possible and will be credited back to your credit card that was used to make the transaction.
The staff at our five Catholic schools will focus their efforts on preparing for a busy and exciting Catholic Schools Week which begins January 28 and runs through February 3. The national theme for this week is Catholic Schools: United in Faith and Community.
During this annual Catholic Schools Week, our five schools will host a variety of activities such as open houses, games, special meals, presentations, and invite visitors to see the remarkable things occurring at our schools. Midweek, our students will gather on January 31, 2024, at 9am in St. Anthony Cathedral Basilica for our annual Sonshine Mass with Bishop Toups in giving thanks to God for the gift of Catholic Education in SE Texas.
