The final Cure for Cabin Fever at Cathedral for 2015 is fast approaching! It is Friday, March 13, 6 to 9 pm.
Cure for Cabin Fever is a fun opportunity for children, ages 5-12 to
interact with Cathedral students, and for parents to enjoy a little time
off. A childcare setting will be provided for children under age four.
For this upcoming event, we have adopted a reading theme and have
planned many activities around reading. As part of the Dr. Seuss reading
theme, children are encouraged to come in their PJ's and also wear
their "foxiest socks." We will vote on the most clever socks worn that
night. To register, go to the Cathedral website and click on Cabin
A reminder that Parent Council meets next Tuesday, March 17, in the Conference Room at 11:30 am.
The speaker this month is Rebecca Brown-Medvec who will be educating
and bringing us up to date on Cathedral's International Student Program. This is our last regular Parent Council meeting, so if you haven't had a chance to, please join us next Tuesday!
From Father Ben:
hope that you had a wonderful week last week over our winter break! I
hope that this season of Lent has also been going well for you! The word
"Lent" actually comes from the Latin word "rebirth". It is a time
where we can open ourselves to something new. One of the beautiful
opportunities that we will have at Cathedral for this is to have a day
for the Sacrament of Reconciliation. The senior campus ministers will
be leading penance services that will be followed by individual
confessions heard by local priest..This will happen on Friday, March 27.
I would like to extend the invitation to all of you to have the
opportunity to celebrate this sacrament in your own parish as well. It
is the opportunity to experience "rebirth" with God's mercy and to be
forgiven. Some of the best moments of peace in my life is when I've
heard those words: "Your sins are forgiven. Go in peace." Have a
Global Issues class will be traveling to the Dominican Republic later
this spring. Baseball is very popular there because they have spring
training for some MLB teams there. The students are looking for new or
gently used shirts, hats, gloves, baseballs/softballs, and sweatshirts
that they will give to the needy. Check around your household or
consider purchasing an item for this worthwhile drive. The students
will be collecting items in bins in the Commons or Mr. McMorrow's room
(C116) until Friday, March 20.
will be helping our juniors prep for the ACT once again, although this
year we have decided to do this intense prep during the school day. This
means no schedule conflicts with spring sports, jobs, or Special
Friends. It also means that we will only be charging families for the
ACT book and a small stipend for the extra work that the presenters take
on. Junior parents will receive a letter soon with the details of our
I hope everyone is making plans to attend Celebration of Seasons on April 25.
It is so important that the whole community supports this important
fundraiser. This is Cathedral's big event, and it benefits so many of
our student activities.
Inspired and informed by Catholic tradition, our
mission is to educate people while inspiring them to virtuous lives.
