FEAST of SAINT CRISTOBAL MAGALLANES and COMPANIONS
| Every martyr realizes how to avoid execution but refuses to pay the high price of doing so. A clear conscience was more valuable than a long life. We may be tempted to compromise our faith while telling ourselves that we are simply being realistic, dealing with situations as we find them. Is survival really the ultimate value? Do our concrete, daily choices reflect our deepest values, the ones that allow us to "tick" the way we do? Anyone can imagine situations in which being a follower of Jesus is easier than the present situation. Saints remind us that our daily choices, especially in adverse circumstances, form the pattern of our lives. |

 The deadline for students to turn in their documentation for our required yearly service hours has passed (May 1). Many students are already serving their community for next years' required 25 hours of service. We have managed and processed those hours for graduating seniors. This week, we will be sending out notices for freshmen-juniors who have not met their 2009-2010 service expectation.
Students who have not completed their required hours and turned in their documentation by next week will begin serving "additional" hours at school on May 26th starting at 9:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. and May 27th until 10 additional hours are completed. The hours remaining for this year will be added to next years' requirement. Students will not be permitted to participate in extra-curricular activities (summer workouts) until all hours are managed and brought up to date. We are hoping our newly revised service portfolio, scheduled for implementation next year and currently available at (Service Learning Portfolio & Service Learning Verification) will assist in the timely completion of students' service hours. Please contact our Office of Academic Affairs for more information.

Youth Day of Caring 2010
We are closing in on
the end of the school year and it's time to recruit our High School teams for
this year's Youth Day of Caring that will be held on Saturday morning, August
28, 2010 from 8:00 a.m. until Noon. The event will be held at the Indiana Lakeshore
again and we are adding projects at the Dunes State Park , as well. Right now we
are looking for team commitments with a team contact (with their contact info of
choice-text their cell phone or send an email). This captain can recruit their
team members after they agree to participate or let us know now how many will be
on their team. We will connect with the team leader, later, to get the t-shirt
sizes needed for their team.
This year we are "raising the bar" hoping to engage more than the 300 volunteers that participated last year. YOU can be a Youth Day of Caring Champion. Click here or more information.
Contact them before the end of May to confirm your team's participation and the team captain's contact information and approximately how many will be on their team. Any questions please call: 219.405.8348. |
