Cathedral High School, Mr. G

Cathedral High School, Mr. G"s Memorial Celebration: Mr. G’s Celebration. Raul Guereca, beloved Cathedral High School teacher, passed away on January 12, 2016 in El Paso. Mr. G, as he was affectionately called by everyone he inspired, was born on July 2, 1937. “Mr. G”, by his students or “G” as he was affectionately called by everyone he inspired. “G” graduated from Jefferson High School in 1953 as salutatorian. BUT, in the early 1960’s he was awarded an honorary Diploma from Cathedral High School, thus making him an alumnus from Cathedral High School. He graduated from Texas Western College as an honor student and Men of Mines in 1960. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music with a minor in English. His Senior Recital in 1959 was a great success with the El Paso Symphony Orchestra, he was offered a job by the Christian Brothers of Cathedral High School to teach English. He proceeded to choir director, drama theater producer/director, spokesman for The Cathedral, student newspaper, as moderator. He enriched the lives and voices as founder and director of the famed Irishaires choir and the Fine Arts drama theater department. During his 40 years as a full-time teacher at Cathedral High, he produced and directed over 80 stage plays and musicals plus countless Irishaire choir performances both at Cathedral High and throughout El Paso. He took the Irishaires to Loretto Academy, and the Catholic grammar schools in El Paso. At 5 am on a cold Easter Sunday he took the Irishaires, and the parents to Mc Kellegon Canyon for Sun Rise Services. At Christmas “G” and the boys, and alumni choirs could be found at the shopping malls, and down town at the San Jacinto Plaza singing Christmas Carols. In 1991, he was named an honorary Christian Brother. He added another award to his name that of ASFC. At his retirement in 1999, the Cathedral High auditorium was named Guereca Auditorium in his honor. After retiring from full-time teaching, he continued as director of The Irishaires and the Alumni Choir until 2004 when his health declined. He is survived by his caretaker, Clay Shurts, CHS'80, A memorial Mass was held on, Feb. 20, 2016 at noon at St. Patrick Cathedral. A brotherhood reception followed at the Multi-Purpose Building at Cathedral. (see: The Dedication later on this section.) He was known for his love of operas, musicals and choir ensembles. In his spare time he got the opportunity to travel to New York and got to see many broadway plays. Later he brought brought those plays and Musicals to Cathedral and the El Paso students. One day G invited a few friends, parents of Cathedral students to include Mr. and Mrs. ______ Ward, parents of former students, and Ernesto and Blanche Martinez parents of Edmond Martinez class of 76. During a brain storming session on trying to raise funds for one of his plays, “Mr. M” and Mr. Ward came up with an idea, to develop and start an Alumni Choir. “G” had had great success with the Cathedral High School Boys Choir. Later he told me that he had not slept, and he started contacting parents and alumni that would help. Again, he had a successful All Male Cathedral High School Alumni Choir, until one lone parent was invited to join but...... he was a Jesuit High School Alumnus. Tires. Ernesto D.

Antiguos alumnos tomando el paseo a la iglesia para asistir al memorial.

Raúl Guereca, querido profesor de la escuela secundaria Cathedral, falleció el 12 de enero de 2016 en El Paso. El Sr. G, como se le llamaba cariñosamente por todos los que inspiró, nació el 2 de julio de 193. El "Sr. G ", por sus estudiantes o" G "como fue cariñosamente llamado por todos los que inspiró. "G" se graduó de la secundaria Jefferson en 1953 como salutatorian. PERO, a principios de los años 60 le concedieron un diploma honorario de la secundaria Cathedral, así haciéndole un alumno de la secundaria Cathedral. Se graduó de Texas Western College como estudiante de honor y Men of Mines en 1960. Recibió una Licenciatura en Música con una licenciatura en Inglés. Su recital musical de cuarto año en 1959 fue un gran éxito con la Orquesta Sinfónica de El Paso. Los Hermanos Cristianos de la secundaria Cathedral le ofrecieron un trabajo para enseñar inglés. Procedió a director de coro, productor / director de teatro de drama, portavoz de la escuela secundaria, periódico estudiantil, como moderador. Él enriqueció las vidas y las voces como fundador y director del coro Irishaires famoso y del departamento del teatro de drama de las bellas arte. Durante sus 40 años como profesor a tiempo completo en Cathedral High, produjo y dirigió más de 80 obras teatrales y musicales además de un sinnúmero de actuaciones de coros Irishaires tanto en la secundaria Cathedral como en todo El Paso. Llevó a los Irishaires a la Academia Loretto y a las escuelas católicas de El Paso. A las 5 de la mañana, en un frío domingo de Pascua, llevó a los Irishaires y los padres a McKelligon Canyon para los servicios del amanecer. En la Navidad "G" y los chicos, y los coros de antiguos alumnos se podían encontrar en los centros comerciales, y en el centro de San Jacinto Plaza cantando villancicos de Navidad. En 1991, fue nombrado hermano cristiano honorario. Añadió otro premio a su nombre el de ASFC. En su retiro en 1999, el auditorio de la secundaria Cathedral fue nombrado el Auditorio de Guereca en su honor. Después de retirarse de la enseñanza a tiempo completo, continuó como director de los Irishaires y el coro de ex alumnos hasta 2004, cuando su salud declinó. Él es sobrevivido por su cuidador, Clay Shurts, CHS'80. Una misa conmemorativa se llevó a cabo, el 20 de febrero de 2016 en el mediodía en la catedral del St. Patrick. Una recepción de la fraternidad siguió en el edificio multiusos en Cathedral. (Ver: La Dedicación más adelante en esta sección.) Fue conocido por su amor por las óperas, los musicales y los conjuntos de coros. En su tiempo libre tuvo la oportunidad de viajar a Nueva York y llegó a ver muchas obras de Broadway. Más tarde trajo esas obras y musicales a Cathedral y a los estudiantes de El Paso. Un día G invitó a algunos amigos, los padres de los estudiantes de la Catedral a incluir el Sr. y la Sra. ______ Ward, los padres de los antiguos estudiantes, y Ernesto y Blanche Martínez padres de Edmond Martínez clase del 76. Durante una reunión creativa para tratar de recaudar fondos para una de sus obras, el "Sr. M "y el Sr. Ward surgió con una idea, para desarrollar e iniciar un Coro de Alumnos. "G" había tenido gran éxito con el coro de Catedral High School Boys Choir. Más tarde me dijo que no había dormido, y comenzó a ponerse en contacto con padres y alumnos que ayudarían. Una vez más, tuvo un exitoso All Male Cathedral High School Alumni Choir (coro todo masculino de alumnos de la secundaria Cathedral), hasta que un solo padre fue invitado a unirse, a pesar de que era un alumno de Jesuit High School Alumnus. Ernesto D. Martínez, ex Asesor del Anuario de Cathedral.
