Dear Cathedral Parents,

Tomorrow is the big day. We are ready to begin and are anxious to greet your teens. Classes are ready, teachers are prepared, and our biggest problems tomorrow should be situations such as opening lockers for new students and finding classes.

Just a gentle reminder that we have Mass every morning at 7:00 a.m. in our Chapel, unless it is an All-School Mass day, when the Liturgy begins at 9:30 a.m. You are always welcome to join us for any of these liturgical celebrations. Also, if you have someone for whom you wish a Mass to be offered, please contact either Father Munshower at 968-7362 or frmunshower@cathedral-irish.org or Father John Zahn (968-7456 or jzahn@cathedral-irish.org. The Mass schedule for this week and next week are on page 2 of this email.

Our lunch program has a major change for this year. If you would like to pay for your child’s lunch in advance, that service is now possible. Please see this information on pages 3 and 4 of this Parent Email.

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. If you have any questions or suggestions, please let Lisa Renze-Rhodes know. She can be reached at 968-7352 or via email at lrenze@cathedral-irish.org.

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.

Memorial Award typically recognizes achievement in three categories. The judges look for a compelling narrative that conveys how the Non-profit organization’s work has benefited its neighborhood, town or place, and documentation that substantiates the record of success. These students created a PowerPoint presentation for the Indiana Landmarks Educational website in which they

described the Greek and Roman architecture of selected downtown buildings. The students who were involved with this project are:

Announcements:

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.Cathedral High School is a proud participant in the National School Lunch program. Cathedral, the USDA and the State of Indiana are equal opportunity providers and employers.

Please be aware of two new policies for the 2011-2012 school year.

STUDENT USE OF ELECTRONIC DEVICES ON CAMPUS Cathedral High School encourages all faculty and staff to use 21st-Century tools to teach, communicate, and bring the real world into the classroom and all facets of Cathedral life, and therefore, it is imperative that students are encouraged to have and use tools appropriate for those educational opportunities.

Students may use devices including but not limited to: iPads, personal computers, iPods, and other devices that are designed to send and receive signals, so long as they do so in strict compliance with this policy. Students possess these materials at their own risk and are solely responsible for the care and well-being of those devices. Students may not use cellular telephones in any capacity anywhere on campus during the school day unless specifically and directly approved and supervised by a teacher.

Unless directed otherwise by a faculty/staff member or designee, students may use the aforementioned items in the following places at any time, as long as there is no sound produced:

1. Student Life Center Commons2. Student Life Center Patio (outdoors)3. Media Center4. Cafeteria

Students may use electronic devices in classrooms, or other teacher-directed spaces, ONLY at the approval and guidance of that teacher.

At no time during the school day anywhere on the campus may students:1. Use earphones or ear buds;2. Use any electronic devices while in hallways, gymnasiums, auditorium (and related) spaces; while moving

from building to building; during any and all assemblies;

At no time on the Cathedral campus may students use video/audio/photographic recording functions/applications, unless at the direction and guidance of a faculty/staff member for a specific and defined purpose. Cathedral High School’s expectation is that students will use mature judgment when using electronic devices, as defined in this policy. However, in the event of policy violations, the consequences outlined in the bluebook will be enforced.

First offense: Electronic device confiscated, parents notified, one detentionSecond offense: Electronic device confiscated, parents notified, Saturday schoolThird offense: Electronic device confiscated, one day suspensionFourth offense: Student may not use or possess the electronic device for the remainder of the school year.

Discipline Board will be notified.The offenses will accumulate throughout the entire school year.

~~~~~

FACULTY/STAFF USE OF INTERNET NETWORKING AND OTHER FORMS OF ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS

6

Cathedral High School encourages all staff to use 21st Century tools to teach, communicate, and bring the real world into the classroom. The use of technology and communication is supported for uses that promote, support, and maintain strong, appropriate relationships between staff and students.

School-provided accounts that can be monitored and are supported with staff assistance are always the safest means for both students and faculty and staff to communicate electronically. To protect all parties, it is important that faculty and staff, students and parents understand the boundaries of professional decorum in the use of ever-changing online, digital learning possibilities. Faculty and staff must conduct themselves in ways that do not distract from nor disrupt the educational process and in ways that protect students, and faculty and staff members alike, from inappropriate use or the appearance of inappropriate use.

Cathedral High School’s expectation is that faculty and staff will use mature, sound professional judgment in all interactions with students, parents and community members.

Practical guidelines include but are not limited to: 1. Staff members should not list or follow current students (except their own children) as “friends”

and “followers” or equivalent labels on personal networking accounts.

2. Staff members are required to first and primarily use school-provided accounts to create a classroom presence or site for legitimate educational and communication purposes (separate from personal sites) such as the school email, Cathedral websites and Angel.

3. When a non-school provided communication tool is used for legitimate educational and communication purposes, a Cathedral High School administrator must have access to, or be present within, those group dynamics.

4. All staff electronic contacts (including phone) with students (except their own children) should be through district accounts whenever possible.

5. In circumstances when a non-Cathedral account is used for interaction between faculty and staff and students, interactions should be strictly limited in scope, frequency and duration.

6. All electronic contacts (including phone) by teachers/coaches/sponsors/directors/moderators with the class/team or individual class/team members shall be for legitimate education and/or communication purposes only.

7. Postings that contain content that disrupts the educational program and damages the relationships of trust necessary between students, staff and parents are strictly prohibited. Examples include but are not limited to content that:

a. is sexually provocative or flirtatious in nature; b. exhibits or advocates for use of drugs and alcohol; c. would be defined by a reasonable person as obscene, racist, or sexist; d. promotes illicit, illegal or unethical activity; e. violates the district’s affirmative action and/or bullying and harassment policies.

8. Postings that communicate confidential information to persons not authorized to receive that information are prohibited.

9. Postings that cause significant interference with the education program via any electronic means are prohibited. Legitimate Educational and Communication Purposes As used in this policy, legitimate educational purposes include:

1. Answering academic inquiries regarding homework, other classroom work or assignments; 2. Scheduling appointments for school-related conferences and/or extra help; 3. Clarifying classroom expectations and/or assignments;

7

4. Notifications related to classroom, club or sports schedules, safety, attendance, events, trips, assignments and/or deadlines.

Personal Networking SitesEmployees of Cathedral High School are role models for her students and ambassadors to the community. As such, they are expected to use good judgment when posting content or managing networking sites and pages. Absolute care must be exercised by Cathedral employees when maintaining personal sites to ensure information does not reflect poorly on the individual employee and/or Cathedral High School. Cathedral encourages employees to use privacy settings and to limit who and what content can be viewed on personal site(s).Faculty and staff should avoid accessing networking sites during school hours for purposes of personal communication. School-related communications, as outlined above, are acceptable, though prolonged use is discouraged.

Acceptable UseCathedral High School reserves the right to protect itself, its students, employees and other members of its community by monitoring employee electronic communications and activities. Employees are prohibited from engaging in illegal activities or accessing websites prohibited by the school when using school networks or equipment on or off school property, during or after working time or while directly or indirectly representing the school. Violation of this policy will result in disciplinary action up to and including immediate termination.

~~~~~

Cathedral’s Dance Team Tryouts will be held on Tuesday, August 23; Wednesday, August 24; and on Friday, August 26th. For tryouts, you must be present on each of these dates. More information will be available in next week’s Parent Email, but if you have specific questions, please feel free to

We have made no change in the uniform requirements for the 2012-2012 school year. The Blue Book reads: “Dress shoes or tennis shoes must be worn in school. Open toed or open heeled shoes will not be permitted. Socks must be worn at all times.”

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.”

“But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him?” 1 John 3:17. Service is our opportunity to share a loving heart with others, and we experience the graces that our Lord puts in our path as we grow in insight and resolve. Our walk with God is strengthened and deepened. We grow in our understanding and universality that we are loved, just as all of our brothers and sisters are loved.

Class Service Projects Class service projects in August 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 Wednesday, Aug 10 at Anna’s House (4:00 PM-7:30 PM), and on Saturday, Aug 13 at the Cathedral Soup Kitchen (10:30-1:30), we show a unified force of Irish love in the community. Research has shown that family service projects are bonding core actions that reinforce good decision reasoning for teenage students and help a family to “walk the talk.” Innumerable opportunities are listed below that can be developed as a family service projects.

Habitat for Humanity-Get Ready For Shack City! 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 Habitat for Humanity home in Indianapolis this fall. Our Habitat for Humanity chapter, led by seniors Natalie Dickman, Grace Waltz and Claire Welch, will host Shack City on September 9th as an insightful and 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!

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. These groups will include some of the following new and existing organizations:

Cathedral High School football players were well represented at the National Underclassmen Combine (NUC) this spring and summer. They first attended the Indiana Combine in the spring and then were invited to the Ultimate 100 Midwest this summer. From the Ultimate 100 Midwest, players were selected to attend the Top Prospect Elite Camp, which was held at the University of Oklahoma on July 23 rd and 24th. For the Class of 2012, both Anthony Corsaro (TE) and Corey Babb (QB) advanced to the Top Prospect Elite

Camp at the University of Oklahoma, but did not attend. For the Class of 2013, Zach Jordan (OL) and Sampson Levingston (WR) advanced to the Top Prospect Elite

Camp and attended. Zach was ranked 4th coming out of the Ultimate 100 Midwest combine and one of only two offensive lineman selected from the state of Indiana. Sampson was ranked third coming out of the Midwest combine. Both did extremely well at the Top Prospect Elite camp, and we are currently waiting on the class of 2013 rankings. Zach competed against top athletes in the OL/DL showcase and went up against athletes across the country, like Jason Hatcher (DL) from Trinity Louisville, who has over 30 college offers.

For the Sophomore Class of 2014, Terry McLaurin (WR) (CB) advanced out of the Ultimate 100 Midwest and was invited to the Top Prospect Elite camp in Oklahoma, although he did not attend.

Congratulations to each of these football players.

Meditation: Matthew 17:22-27

“The subjects are exempt.” (Matthew 17:26)

Jesus’ words often have a deeper meaning than is first apparent. That’s especially true here. When asked to pay the Temple tax, Jesus makes the point that kings collect certain taxes only from foreigners, not subjects. He says that subjects—other translations have “sons”—are exempt from this tax. As the Son of God, then, he is certainly exempt from the Temple tax. But he goes on to say that all children are exempt, meaning his followers as well. He only pays the tax so as not to offend those who had not yet grasped who he was.

What a marvelous truth: Children are free because they are children! The prodigal son, who came back to his father’s house after squandering everything, experienced this freedom in a deep way (Luke 15:11-31). He had become a virtual slave in another country—as we sometimes become slaves of sin. Yet when he came back home, his father treated him with all the dignity of a son. The father was so overjoyed that he forgot all the trouble his wayward son had wrought, and he welcomed him with open arms!

This truth of our freedom as sons and daughters of God can cut both ways. We are even free to stray from him if we choose. We are free to experience the sting of sin and its effects. Ironically, we are even free to become enslaved to a habit of sin!

Of course, we know that this is not the wisest strategy. No, real freedom is the freedom to do God’s will. It’s the freedom that “exempts” us from merely following him out of fear or obligation—the freedom to actually want to live holy lives.

So why be a slave when we can be free? Why live under the burden of divine commandments when you can know the dignity of being a child of God? You are exempt! You have nothing to fear! So go ahead and enjoy your freedom. Let it fill your heart and guide your actions. You’ll end up pleasing God much more than if you were to obey out of fear and anxiety!

“Lord, thank you for the freedom I have to love and serve you. Give me the grace to respond joyfully to whatever you ask of me today.”
