HOUSTON — Rain and overcast skies didn’t deter thousands who charged through downtown Houston for the 21st annual Steps for Students 5K Run/Walk on Valentine’s Day, Feb. 14.
More than 10,900 were registered for the annual race, which benefits Catholic education in the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston.
The morning began with Mass at the Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart, celebrated by Auxiliary Bishop Italo Dell’Oro, CRS, with more than 15 concelebrating priests from area Catholic schools. After Mass, participants braved some rainshowers heading into the Catholic School Village for last-minute bites and carb loads before heading to the starting line on San Jacinto Street.
