- Cathedral High School

Wednesday, January 26, 2011 Edition #24 Cathedral High School Vision Cathedral High School, a Catholic institution, will be the model for all high schools as she profoundly shapes the way students think, serve and lead. Dear Cathedral Parents, Cathedral High School Mission Cathedral, a Catholic college preparatory high school, provides to a diverse group of students opportunities for spiritual, intellectual, social, emotional and physical growth through service and academic excellence. On Monday, January 31, we will begin to celebrate National Catholic Schools Week. This is a week when we give thanks for the many opportunities available to us because of the religious nature of our school. We have the option of beginning each day with either a Mass or a Communion Service. We can begin each day with prayer and with a pledge to the flag of our country. Prayer and religious teachings can easily be incorporated in our classrooms, and moral teachings are able to include Bible passages or Christian teachings. At Cathedral, one of our big calls is for diversity, so we work towards this noble goal through our Christian approach. As a Catholic school, much of our support comes from committed alumni who reach out generously to help fund some of our programs or to underwrite partial tuition for some of our students. We are gifted with many religious priests, brothers, and sisters who have taught here over our 91 year history. We begin each day with Mass or a Communion Service in our Chapel. You are invited to join us at 7:00 a.m. any morning that is convenient for you, or to come to any all-school Mass (9:30 – 11:00 a.m.) that is announced. I would like to offer you a personal invitation to join us, if possible, for our National Catholic Schools’ Week AllSchool Liturgy on Tuesday, February 1st from 9:30 – 11:00 a.m. in the Robert V. Welch Student Activity Center. Thank you, Loving Creator, for allowing us to attend and work at a Catholic school!

In addition, we will be holding an informational meeting soon! Please watch the announcements. Thank-you. ~~~~~ These Right to Life remarks were given by Mrs. Margaret Stempky, one of our Cathedral parents, at her parish last Sunday. This is definitely worth reading! In Proverbs 31:8 it says, “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; ensure justice for those who are perishing.” My name is Margaret Stempky and I am the leader of our Pro Life Ministry here at St. Matthew. When I found this verse I really felt like it explained the mission of our ministry. I am here today because this weekend, our nation is remembering the US Supreme Court decision which legalized abortion 38 years ago. Since this decision, over 55 million Americans, who could not speak for themselves, have lost their lives. It is easy to become numb to these kinds of numbers and forget what it is doing to our country. In 1994 Mother Teresa came to the United States and commented on this Supreme Court decision. She said, “America needs no words from me to see how your decision in Roe v. Wade has deformed a great nation. The so-called right to abortion has pitted mothers against their children and women against men. It has portrayed the greatest of gifts ~ a child ~ as a competitor, an intrusion, and an inconvenience.” I simply ask you to take a moment this weekend and pray for an end to abortion. Pray for the unborn, for their mothers and fathers, for the sidewalk counselors, the lawmakers and for all us. I ask you to listen to hear what God might be calling you to do. Last week, in the bulletin, there was a flyer about the Pro Life rally which will be held downtown on Monday. Anyone available is encouraged to attend. The Pro Life Ministry has a table set up in the back of church if you have any questions or just want grab a pamphlet please feel free to stop by. As with all the ministries, we are always looking for more volunteers. 9 I would like to close with this simple prayer: Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I love you very much and I ask you to spare the life of the unborn child I have spiritually adopted who is in danger of abortion. Amen ~~~~~ Refugee Resettlement Program Drive! - Starts January 26, 2011 until February 2nd!

Dear Parents, On February 14th we will be beginning a program for young women called “ENDOW: Educating on the Nature and Dignity of Women”. This is a study group that meets once a week for 8 weeks and is open to any female student. The purpose of this program is to inspire young women with the possibilities of their womanhood, encourage women to embrace their God-given spiritual and physical gifts, challenge women in service to their families, community, and church and to support women as they bring their gifts and talents in to the plan that God has laid for them. Study groups will be led by trained faculty and staff members and we will be using Pope John Paul II’s encyclical called Letter to Women as well as scripture as part of our study program. If you are interested in learning more about this program or getting your student involved please contact Charlene Witka (cwitka@cathedral-irish.org) or Sarah Erotas (serotas@cathedral-irish.org). Sincerely, Charlene A. Witka Sarah M. Erotas Campus Minister Assistant to Student Life ~~~~~ MOTHERS' CLUB NEWS/UPDATES: JOIN other CHS moms for a NIGHT OF FUN!

If you will not be 19 before Jan. 1, 2011, you are eligible to compete in the Optimist International speech Contest in late January or mid-February. See Mrs. Scheetz if you are interested and to get a Registration form. You will need to write a 4-5 minute speech on the subject: “If I were a leader of the free world, the first issue I would address would be…!” Think about this; collect your thoughts and see Mrs. Scheetz for more information, help and registration forms. ***The Optimist club has for the 1st time opened this up to all students not yet 19! Mrs. Scheetz is in Rm. #3302. Reminder: It states in the Blue Book that students need to be called in by 9:30 am. Parents/Guardians should be aware that if they are calling after 9:30 a.m., they must speak to an actual person to insure that their student’s attendance record is accurately updated and they should especially speak to a live person if they are calling after 9:30 a.m. to request an early dismissal. Many freshman students are telling their parents to just come in to the front office and we will call them out of class. This is disruptive to the classroom and it is not the way we do this at Cathedral. 14 Cathedral will offer two SAT prep classes 2nd semester. The first has already begun to prepare students for the March 12 testing date. The second class will start March 14th and meet on consecutive Monday nights through May 2, leading up to the May 7th testing date. (There is also a test in June) The class will not meet during Spring Break. Both sessions will meet from 6:30-8:30 p.m. in Room 2302 / 2301. The cost is $150.00 for 14 hours of instruction, and we will provide all practice materials. Registration has begun January 10th. Please email lobrien@cathedral-irish.org if you have any questions.

I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was naked and you clothed me. I was homeless and you gave to shelter. I was ill and you came to see me.” As January winds to a close, we have the following inspirational service opportunities for our Cathedral students: Class Service Projects “Say to Wisdom, ‘You are my sister’; call Understanding, ‘Friend!’” Prov 7:4. Our service at Cathedral helps us to grow in understanding and in contemplation. As January bids its snowy adieu, the remaining Cathedral initiated events for this month include a drive for the refugee center at Catholic Charities from Jan 26-Feb 2, led by Refugee Council Ambassadors Katy Hoeper and Liz Subrin.

Meditation: Meditation: 2 Timothy 1:1-8 Stir into flame the gift of God that you have. (2 Timothy 1:6) Today we celebrate Sts. Timothy and Titus, two of our first bishops. And on this day, one truth shines out: No matter how the role of bishops has changed over the centuries, their mission remains the same—to encourage believers to press on and keep growing in their faith. Bishops are called by God to dedicate their lives to helping all their people reach their fullest potential in Christ. Most of us aren’t bishops, but we are all in a network of relationships with other people whose lives we can touch and influence: children and grandchildren, friends, co-workers, neighbors, fellow parishioners. In all of these relationships, we can take an interest in people’s spiritual lives and encourage them to fan into flame the wonderful gifts that God has given them. So let’s look at Paul’s relationship to Timothy to find out how we can become agents of encouragement and inspiration. It’s obvious that Paul was personally involved in Timothy’s life. It was from this position of friendship and mutual love that Paul was able to recognize Timothy’s gifts and encourage him to use them. His friendship with Timothy also gave Paul the freedom to help him set the unshakable truths of the gospel as the foundation for his life. This is a model for us as well. Even when we are busy with other demands, we can still learn how to pay attention to the people around us, connecting with them and learning about their hopes and fears, their joys and challenges. We can look for the gifts that other people have and encourage them to use these gifts to build up God’s people. And we can take opportunities to encourage our friends when their faith is wavering. We don’t have to be bishops or pastors to make a difference in the church. We can all encourage each other and build each other up, fanning the flame in each other’s lives until the whole church is burning with passion for the Lord! “Lord, help me to see the people in my life with your eyes. Teach me how to be an agent of encouragement and hope in you.” Blessings, 30 Principal Cathedral High School dworland@cathedral-irish.org 31
