Cathedral High School Vision
Cathedral High School, a Catholic institution
in the Holy Cross tradition,
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
Today is the first day of Freshman Welcoming Week. This is
Cathedral, a Catholic college preparatory high school
in the Holy Cross tradition,
a time when freshman begin to feel their class bond as the
provides
to
a
diverse group of students opportunities
“Class of 2015,” and when seniors gently chide them, asking for
for spiritual, intellectual, social, emotional
a group to sing the school song, or to do the class dance. The
and physical growth through service and academic excellence.
seniors are wearing T-shirts provided by the Mothers’ Club, so
that only seniors can make a request of our freshmen. The
younger students have been told that they have the right to say “No” to an unacceptable request. I thanks our Seniors for
their gentle treatment of our Freshmen and the Mothers’ Club for providing the T-shirts so the freshman can identify
Seniors!
This is your weekly email. If you know of any honors or special events involving our students, please send this
news to me at dworland@cathedral-irish.org so that it can be published in later emails.

Mass Information:
~~~~~
From the Desk of the Chaplains ~ Daily Mass is offered in the Chapel at 7:00 a.m. on each day. Fr. Munshower, our
Chaplain, encourages members of the Cathedral Family to contact him to have a mass said in memory of a loved one. His
phone number is 968-7362. The $10 mass stipend would go to a fund to help financially marginalized
students here at Cathedral High School – helping those within our midst who need our help! If you are not
able to pay the $10, you may still submit an intention for our daily Mass. Please contact Fr. Munshower at
968-7362 or Father Zahn (968-7456 for details and arrangements. Father also requests that, if you contract
a Mass, that someone from your family tries to be in attendance on that day.
Morning Masses begin at 7:00 a.m. in the Cathedral Chapel.

Father John Zahn, Chaplain, will be offering Mass on Monday mornings and during the school
day on a rotating basis. This will allow your children to take advantage of a daily mass during their resource periods
some days.
 At this time, all of the Masses for the week of August 15th are available, if you have a petition for which you
want a Mass offered.

Please join me in congratulating the 2010-11 Lady Irish for earning the American Volleyball Coaches’ Association
Team Academic Award! Students on this team were: Kelsey Kreutzinger,
Courtney Lansing, Christine Maci, Emily Pollom, Chelsea Bilger, Emily Preston,
Liza Girton, Ellie Dedinsky, Audrey Rougraff, Sara Hohman, Gail Moriarity,
Jazzmine McDonald, Molly Kennedy, Keely McGrath, and Erick Voigt.
This sward honors teams who have matched their dedication to the sport of volleyball
with excellence in the classroom. To qualify for this award, your entire volleyball team
had to hold a cumulative grade point average of 3.3 on a 4.0 scale or the equivalent
for the entire academic year. This is really a remarkable accomplishment and one of
which you can be very proud!
Congratulations and thank you to Shanice Jackson-Ellison (’12), Peyton Powers (’13)
and Anthony "Tony" Pipken (’15) (no picture available), who behaved extremely well
Monday when their bus was rear-ended by a young driver who misjudged distance when
turning. There were no injuries to any of our three students, but they did arrive home late
after the police came, a report was filed, and the necessary post-accident steps were taken.
They had each called parents to notify them of the late arrival, and during the whole
endeavor, not one of these young people complained or fussed about having to wait for the process to be
completed. They are to be commended, and it only shows why Cathedral students are so outstanding.
Matt Howard, Michele Nash (’08) Tabbed Butler’s Top Athletes:
 Nash, selected as Butler’s Most Outstanding Female Athlete, helped lead the Bulldogs to the team title at
the 2011 Horizon League Women’s Golf Championship and Butler’s first appearance in the
NCAA Division I Women’s Golf Championship. She was the individual medalist at the Horizon
League tournament with a 54-hole score of (+14) 233, and she led the Bulldogs in scoring at the
NCAA Central Region with rounds of 72, 80 and 78. The junior standout was named the 2010-11
Horizon League Women’s Golf Player of the Year, becoming just the third player in Butler history
to earn that honor.
 A former Cathedral High School golfer who hails from Indianapolis, Nash led the Bulldogs
in scoring with a school-record 77.0 average. She shot a team season-best 71 in the first round
of the Chicago State Cougar Classic and in the second round of the Horizon League Championship. The Butler
junior was named first team All-Horizon League and was chosen to the Horizon League All-Tournament Team.
Announcements:
Lunch- All checks delivered to the front office must be received by 8:00AM so that they can be processed by
9:00AM. If not then they will be process for the next day.
Drop Off and Pick Up- Please note at no time should there be a morning drop off or afternoon pick
up occurring on the round-about. It is dangerous and causes delays and the school buses must use this
area for drop off. Also dangerous is parking on the round-about to pick up students from athletic events or
practices. There is a large parking lot by the fields and we ask that for safety reason you park there. We
thank you for your cooperation.
Minor Calendar Change – we originally had scheduled the Country/Health Fair for Tuesday, October 18 th. At this
time, it has been moved to Tuesday, November 15th. Both days are on the County schedule, so this is not a change in
school time at all.

Reminder: Sophomore parents – tomorrow, Thursday, August 18th is the last day to turn in your
ring orders. The Herff Jones representatives will be present in the Cafeteria during sophomore lunches
and after school until 6:30 p.m. in the Robert V. Welch Student Activity Center. A deposit is due at the time
of the order. You have already received information about Class Rings in the mail over the summer.

You’ve spoken and we’ve heard you! To better meet your information needs, we will be revamping the parent email
that you receive on Wednesdays. Over the course of the next few weeks, we will be refining the product and our goal is
that you will begin receiving that piece in late September. This will mean incorporating much of what you would have
received in the monthly Insight, such as month-at-a-glance calendars and good news, allowing us to retire that newsletter.

You don’t need to do anything to receive the new newsletter – we’ll use the same distribution list already in place.

School Lunches at Cathedral this year:
All students are welcome to bring a lunch with them, or they can purchase lunch each day from the school
cafeteria. In addition to being able to pay for lunch with cash, students can use
MyMealTime.com. With this program, students are assigned a student number within PowerSchool
to allow parents the option to deposit money into a student's account to be used for lunch
purchases. Checks or cash for deposit may be dropped off in the "lunch money" mailbox by the
main office. BE SURE to include the student's name or ID number. Deposits may also be made with
the designated cashiers at lunchtime. Parents can track purchases made with account funds or
deposit money online by setting up a user name and password at www.mymealtime.com. There is no charge to access
your student's account. If you choose to deposit money online, the site will charge a 4.9% user fee. If you deposit $100 or
more, the cafeteria will credit the user fee amount to your child's balance.
In an effort to speed up meal service and offer privacy and convenience, students may opt to use a four digit pin code to
identify themselves and use deposited funds for meal purchases. This system offers complete privacy and use of the device
is 100% optional.
For information about the meal service system, visit www.mealtime.com.

Service Outreach News:
The spirit of our service will be guided by Matt 25:35-36: “I was hungry and you gave me food. 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.”
“Decide today whom you will serve.” Joshua 24:15. This scripture prompts us to recall that the early tribes of Israel were
being reminded to choose our holy God, and to turn away from other gods. This invitation endures with us still. We are
called to reflect about what we should turn away from and how we shall persist in our love for our God. In The Call of
Service, Robert Cole states that “all service is a(n) … ethical activity, a reply to the moral call within, one that
answers a moral need in the world.” By our faith, service is our opportunity to share a loving heart with others and with
our Lord.
Class Service Projects Class service projects in September become perfect service opportunities for off-season sport
groups and families. Details on all of these class service projects are noted below in Service Opportunities. By supporting
these projects on Saturday, Sep 10 at the Cathedral Soup Kitchen (10:30-1:30), and on Wednesday, Sep 14 at Anna’s
House (4:00 PM-7:30 PM), we show a unified force of Irish hospitable generosity in the community. Our August events
were very moving experiences: Jonathan, one of our lunch guests at the Cathedral Soup Kitchen, sang a very touching
prayer sharing his joy of worship with God. At Anna’s House, the very robust attendance of neighborhood families who
came for spaghetti dinner inspired us all. Our sophomores and juniors were very stirred by their experiences from these
events in August.
Habitat for Humanity-Get Ready For Woodshack! Could there be a more vital way for us to support community needs in
Indianapolis than to support low cost housing? Cathedral will help to construct our ninth and tenth Habitat for Humanity
homes in Indianapolis this fall. Our Habitat for Humanity chapter, led by seniors Natalie Dickman, Grace Waltz and Claire
Welch, will host Woodshack, our Shack City event, on September 9th as a dynamic fundraising/educational experience in
homelessness and the need for low cost housing. This project helps us to raise $5,000 by our chapter to support the annual
fall Habitat home that Cathedral undertakes as an important community outreach each year. Thanks always for your support
of Habitat! The registration and permission slip form is linked here.
Service Chapters and Clubs Call out meetings for clubs and chapters that perform service will be announced soon. These
are fun opportunities to develop leadership and to express a compassionate heart in areas of need. Below we have listed

Service Hours on Power School Normally, service hours may be viewed on Power School. They are
current for all hours received since the start of school. There is a slight interruption in our ability to view
service hours in Power School just yet. Our technical staff will be resolving this problem shortly. You can
send me an email or have your student come to my office to confirm their hours currently shown as
completed in our data base. For the 2011-12 academic year, service hours for seniors are due December 1,
2011 to meet their total graduation requirement. For the academic year of 2011-12, freshmen, sophomore
and junior hours are due March 1, 2012. The service hours for all students will be shown on their fourth
quarter report card. If the hours for this year are completed by April 1, hours earned after April 1 may be
credited to the next year’s requirement. We are accepting service on a project basis as well. After Sep 1,
12
hours will not be accepted more than sixty days after the date of service performance.

Please continue to turn to the most compelling areas of need to perform your service stewardship. Thank you for
supporting your class service projects with enthusiasm and compassion. Should you desire to pursue an outreach project
with an agency not listed, you may also consult the list of service agencies available by clicking here. By working with
diligence and interest on your service, you should find yourself achieving about four hours of service each
month. The balance of 2011 and 2012 provides rich opportunities to direct helpful hands and hearts to aid our community
needs.
Service Reflection
They say it takes a minute to serve a special person,
An hour to appreciate them,
A day to love them,
But then an entire life to forget them.
May your Cathedral service personally enrich you and your spirituality, as we seek to
address challenges faced by our brothers and sisters in our immediate community and world-wide.
Service hours for freshmen, sophomore and junior students for the academic year of 2011-12 are due on March 1,
2012. Seniors graduation hours for the academic year of 2011-2012 are due on December 1, 2011. Click here for
the 2011-12 Service Documentation. Click here for the 2011-12 Service Documentation form. Click here for the
Service Hour Criteria. Hours will not be accepted more than sixty days after the date of service performance.
Please check the service criteria because neighbor help, family help and working for a business without pay is not
accepted as service hours. We always encourage our students to help their families and neighbors but we do not
accept these efforts as service hours. We seek to perform our service in the spirit of Matthew 25:35-36.

Meditation: Matthew 20:1-16
“Are you envious because I am generous?” (Matthew 20:15)
The parable of the laborers in the vineyard can seem like a paradox, can’t it? Why would the owner hire people at
different times of the day, yet pay everyone the same amount of money? In the world’s eyes this might be
considered an unjust labor practice or at the very least employee favoritism.
But Jesus had a different economic model in mind. He was asking his disciples to think the way God thinks. As owner of the
“vineyard” that is his kingdom, God is not concerned with pay equity as much as he is with mercy. In the parable, everyone
who worked a full day received a just compensation for their labors. But the owner’s heart broke to see others go without
enough to feed their families, and so he gave them what they needed as well. The early-morning hires began to complain
only when they saw his generosity. They knew deep down that they were being treated fairly; they just weren’t used to
seeing someone be as merciful and generous as this man!
God indeed is great in his mercy! Consider how many times in the course of a day you fall short of the calling God has for
you. Consider how often you fail to reach the ideal not just in terms of your behavior but your thoughts, your desires, and
your attitudes. And still, all you need is one good Confession, and it’s all wiped away. Heaven is still yours, just as it is for
those who have lived more perfect, nearly sinless lives.
God overlooks so much in our lives. At the same time, he smiles on every small act of kindness; he rewards every little sign
of love; and he rejoices in every godly decision. He can’t bear the thought of our living apart from him, and so he is
extremely generous with us!
So celebrate God’s generosity today. Rejoice in his kindness toward you. While you were lost in sin, he gave up his only
Son to bring you back. And even today, should you lose your way, he will take you back in a heartbeat. He knows your
weaknesses. He knows your needs. He sees into the darkest places that even you can’t see—and still he loves you. Still he
pours his blessings upon you. Still he welcomes you!
“Lord, may I never lose sight of your great mercy!”
