FEAST of SAINT AUGUSTINE of CANTERBURY
Augustine of Canterbury comes across today as a very human saint, one who could suffer like many of us from a failure of nerve.  He made mistakes and met failure in his peacemaking attempts with the Briton Christians.  He often wrote to Rome for decisions on matters he could have decided on his own had he been more self-assured.  He even received mild warnings against pride from Pepe Gregory, who cautioned him to "fear lest, amidst the wonders that are done, the weak mind be puffed up by self-esteem."  Augustine's perseverance amidst obstacles and only partial success teaches today's apostles and pioneers to struggle on despite frustrations and be satisfied with gradual advances.

"I leave you now with this prayer.  That the Lord Jesus will reveal Himself to each one of you, that He will give you the strength to go out and profess that you are Christians, that He will show you that He alone can fill your hearts.  Accept His Freedom and embrace His truth, and be messengers of the certainty that you have been truly liberated through the death and Resurrection of the Lord Jesus.  This will be the new experience, the powerful experience, that will generate through you, a more just society and a better world.  God Bless you and may the joy of Jesus be always with you."

Pope John Paul II 1920-2005

Message to Students, The Catholic University: 1979

Business Office Information
Tuition Management Systems re-enrollment will take place this week for parents who have elected to pay their tuition monthly.  Mrs. Luanne Fettig will be going on-line to re-enroll your accounts.  You do not have to do anything.  Once you have been re-enrolled you will receive a letter from TMS.  It will show the full tuition amount.  At a later date, Ms. Fettig will adjust accounts for those who received scholarships and/or tuition assistance.
Service Learning
united way
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.

Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy, hail, our life, our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve: to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale of tears. Turn then, most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus, O merciful, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary! Amen.
