About
Our Way of Proceeding
“Love ought to show itself in deeds more than in words.”
-St. Ignatius of Loyola
Our Way of Proceeding
In the two years that have elapsed since its launch, Vision 2020, our multi-year initiative to clarify God's call to Strake Jesuit, has grown far beyond the definition of "vision."
The generous response of our community to Vision 2020 was accompanied by Crusader Fund, Events, and Major Gift commitments exceeding $35,000,000.
Our Way of Proceeding, a $60,000,000 fundraising initiative announced at the 2022 President's Dinner, has been embarked on to bring the support for Vision 2020 beyond buildings and renovations and more deeply into the heart of the mission of Strake Jesuit: forming Men for Others every single day.

Beyond The Vision
2022 Goal Announcement
Leading By Example
Over 25 years of support
The support of the W.T. & Louise J. Moran Foundation has been vital to the success of the school, and their largest gift yet of $1,500,000 helps significantly to ensure that we can reach our goals as set forth in Vision 2020. The W.T. & Louise J. Moran Student Commons is a 12,000 square foot common space spanning the first and second floor of the center of Loyola Hall, which opened one year ago, and provides a variety of gathering spaces for students throughout the day.
Unmatched in Generosity
We are continually blown away by the generosity of our community. Gifts big and small help make Our Way of Proceeding a reality. We are deeply grateful that every investment in our mission by our community is a witness of generosity and charity to our students and enables us to respond to God's invitation for our school in substantial ways, especially through Robert Clay '85's $4,500,000 commitment.
A Historic Gift and Moment
We are extremely grateful to the Miller family for their constant support of our school and we are thrilled to announce their historic lump sum $1,000,000 gift that will support the Vision of the school and the work of forming Men for Others for many years.
The Gift that Keeps on Giving
With deep gratitude, we are proud to announce the Strake Foundation has continued their unwavering support of Strake Jesuit with a $500,000 gift to help us fulfill our Vision for the future. They are truly the gift that keeps on giving.
Vision 2020
Responding to God's Invitation
By the time a student leaves Strake Jesuit, we know he has spent time on and off our campus learning to live out the values of the Grad at Grad, which inspire him to consider what God is calling him to.
We also have confidence it is an important part of his formation to witness examples of adults answering God's invitation in their own lives.
For Strake Jesuit, that discernment of God's call has been prayed over, written down, and is being lived out every day. This page will introduce you to the strategic goals we are continually enacting and provide updates on how they are manifested "in deeds more than in words." </>

"Today our prime educational objective must be to form men and women for others."
- Fr. Pedro Arrupe, S.J.
Living Out the Vision
We make progress living out the vision in front of us every day; not just our faculty, staff, and administration, but the amazing progress we are witnessing every day would be impossible without the full participation of our student body, supportive parents, and generous benefactors.
The Development of Loyola Hall
This project is a physical manifestation of a greater vision that Strake Jesuit is living out every day. As Strake Jesuit looks to the future, it recognizes God's invitation to be more Jesuit & Catholic, more student-centered, more accessible, and more committed to caring for and forming Men for Others.
The building of Loyola Hall will make room for the many young men in Houston who desire an education that helps form them into Men for Others and marks the beginning of a journey as a school community that will define Strake Jesuit for many years to come.
