Dear Cathedral Parents,

On Monday, September 13th, Cathedral High School celebrated its 92nd birthday! We did it appropriately for a

Catholic school and celebrated an All-School Liturgy. The students were involved, were both well-behaved and celebratory at the same time. I want to thank the Mothers’ Club which provided cupcakes for everyone during the day, for all of the great signs, and for the many special touches that made this day complete for all of us! I also thank the Liturgy Planning Committee who helped plan our Liturgy.

~~~~~Homecoming Week: Sept. 26- October 1Each year the students participate in the biggest week of the year. Each class earns points toward the “spirit stick” by participating in different events. The “stick” represents years of tradition and is given or “won” in memory of several students who lost their lives in the mid 1980’s. Thank you to the Student Council for organizing this week.

The week begins with Powder Puff football on Sunday, September 26th, at the football field at 5:00PM. Games will be played that evening at 6:30. Teams are being formed and if you wish to participate then email grace gibbons at ggibbons@cathedral-irish.org. the championship games will be played on Wednesday night of that week at 6:15PM. All are welcome to come and watch.

Each day has a special them and the students earn points by dressing up.

The theme for Monday is “As Seen on TV”- Dress up as a character from your favorite cartoon or TV show. Jeans are permitted this day.

3

Tuesday- “Out of this world” – Take a trip to outer space- Dress as an astronaut or extraterrestrial.o Tuesday- Magazine Collection Day. Money collected by this day will be used to

determine who wins a spirit point as Magazine Champions. Get your orders in by this day to help your class win the spirit point for Magazine Sales.

o Tuesday is Hall decorating- Students bring items and decorate their assigned hall to the themes for each day. Halls are judges that evening for a spirit point. This year new hallways are being decorated so that they can remain up longer.

Wednesday- “Wonderful World of Disney”- Dress up like Mickey Mouse, Cinderella, or any of your favorite Disney characters. Shorts and jeans ok. No short shorts

Thursday- “Littler Bit County”- Dress in your best cowboy or cowgirl gear. Hats, boots, jeans. No short shorts. Normal shorts are okay.

o Thursday- Homecoming Dance- 7:30-10:30PM . The theme is Homecoming Barnyard Hoedown. The cost is $5.00 for everyone at the door; seniors have some perks (free stuff). A spirit point is given for each person who attends the dance. To earn a spirit [point for your class you must be at the dance from 8:30 to 10:00PM. Since there are some other school activities that evening attendance at any of those events count toward a spirit point. The dance will be held in the cafeteria. If a student wishes to bring one guest they may do so but a form obtained from the front office must be signed by the visitor’s school and host parent. The Dance has been moved to Thursday so that it is actually part of the week. Poor weather during or after football games, and the lateness of the games were factors in moving the dance. There are no classes on Friday. Students now can dress up more for the dance than they could go to the football game. Attire for the evening- Dress to impress wear your best cowboy and cowgirl attire

Friday- White, Gold, Green, Blue Dayo Friday- School begins at 8:30PM. No classes. We do the annual Walk-a-thon for charities. We start with a

prayer assembly, and the walk down Fall Creek.

During Homecoming: Students earn a point for their class toward the spirit stick by donating $5.00 to charity as part of the walk.

Students are to turn in their money before Friday. We are hopeful for a great week with friendly competition and then everyone gather at Arlington to watch

the football team defeat Cincinnati Moeller. Game is free with student ID.

As we continue with our possible affiliation with the Brothers of Holy Cross, we wish to announce that Blessed Brother Andre is to be Canonized in Rome by Pope Benedit XVI on October 17th. There is also a large banner that will be hanging in front of the Media Center, facing the Courtyard, for all to enjoy!

Andre’, born Alfred Bessette, has already been recognized by the Catholic Church for his healing powers. In 1978 he was declare venerable. He was beatified in 1982. The man most people associate with the massive St. Joseph’s Oratory on the flank of Mount Royal in Montreal was born on August 9, 1845, in St. Gregoire d’Iberville, southeast of the city.

Andre’ was a frail child, orphaned at the age of 10. He worked on farms and in mills in New England before returning to Quebec in 1867. In 1870 he took a job as custodian at College Notre

Dame, run by the Congregation of Holy Cross in Montreal.He entered the Congregation of Holy Cross as a lay brother in 1870, and in his capacity as the porter of the school for

40 years, counseled many parents of pupils. With those who had fallen ill, he prayer to St. Joseph.So many sick people began to visit his humble room in College Notre Dame, there was a fear of spreading disease

through the school. Andre’ gained a reputation as a healer, and a man who could perform miracles.When the congregation purchased land across the street, Andre’ was instrumental in getting a small chapel built in

1904. There, he met with the sick, who left their crutches and canes behind when healed.A church seating 1,000 was built in 1917 and in 1924 construction began on the current oratory, stopping only

during the Depression.When Andre’ died at age 91 in 1937, an estimated one million people came to pay their respects.

~~~~~Students may volunteer to be part of a Disaster Drill! We will be conducting another disaster drill on Saturday, October 30 (7am to 12noon), at Community Hospital East. I usually round up kids from Scecina and Cathedral to help us. Due to

football, cross country, volleyball, cheering etc., my list of available volunteers is slim. If any students would like to volunteer for service hours, we would love to have them. Unfortunately, due to this, you may want to inform anyone you are recruiting that they will probably be needed about 7am.  We will be moulaging them (this means they will get fake blood on them, injuries, etc) and that takes time before the start of the drill to complete.  They can e-mail Elisa Stott at estott@ecommunity.com if they would like to participate. Thanks!

Service Outreach News:

Our beginning of school year offers inspirational service opportunities for our Cathedral students.

Shack City: The early morning light bid adieu to our SHACK CITY homeless evening from Saturday, September 11, 2010 attended by 125 Cathedral students who left with so many memories and experiences. We had a myriad of activities ranging from a chili soup line (so kindly prepared and served by the Latin Club) to great fun from games such as linked tag and frisby on the football field. Musical entertainment was skillfully provided by the great performances of Scrubs, Brittany Casavant, Sophie Hopkins, November, St. Patrick’s Day and a duo from our very own orchestra. Students helped cut fleece for scarves for the homeless which we will also complete during resource on Sep 21; it is the goal of Drew Myers, Katie Gordon, Erin Selsemeyer and Connor Ashby to produce 500 scarves for the homeless before cold weather sets in. The crowning glory of the night was the experience of sleeping in boxes for the evening and our midnight vigil where we prayed for victims of homelessness and for victims and surviving families of Sep 11. Father Munshower wrapped up our total experience in a wonderful mass on Sunday morning dedicated to better understanding the needs of the homeless. Special thanks to the Liotti family for again providing our field lights for the second year in a row. We also shared during our vigil a special prayer for Mike’s grandmother. $2,600 was raised for our Habitat home build and we thank all of the wonderful and supporting Cathedral students attending this fourth annual event.

Class Service Projects As an insight regarding the good works that we can accomplish this year, ponder this scripture: “A good person out of the store of goodness in his heart produces good; for from the fullness of the heart, the mouth speaks.” Luke 6:45. And as we perform simple acts of giving, and sharing fellowship with others, we ask God to sow his word once more in our hearts today until patiently the soil of our souls brings forth a rich harvest. In October, you may join our outreach serving spaghetti dinner for the special community of english second language families at the Lord’s Pantry on Wednesday, October 13, 3:30-7:15 (the 2nd Wed of each month.) Or Saturday, October 9, 10:15-1:30, juniors will be serving up a fabulous lunch for the Saturday noon meal at the Cathedral Soup Kitchen. Details on all of these on-going class service projects are noted below in Service Opportunities as wonderful expressions of giving and grace.

Shack City SHACK CITY, as summarized earlier in this email, was a terrific success with 125 students in attendance and raising $2,600 for the 2010 Habitat build. Thanks to all for their terrific support.

Joint Service Outreach With Other High School Students and Herron High School Would you like to help plan a joint service outreach with other high students for IPS middle school students in our community? We are proposing a special day of events combining reading, athletics and other passions such as art, music and dance. The theme is “MAKE IT MINE”.

Our next meeting is Sunday, Sep 26 at 12:30 PM in room 3304 (Mr. Payne’s room). Please email Jasmine Whitaker, Imani Parker-Robinson, Haley Roach or Mrs. Halstead (chalstead@cathedral-irish.org) with your interest. Many juniors are involved in this project.

We have planning to complete for these events targeted for IPS middle school students to help them commit to their academics, high school graduation and greater successes in life.

Student-Athlete Tip of the Week (9-13-10) Do you know the rules of your sport? Have you ever read the rule book? Does your coach go over the rules

with you? In the recently completed PGA Championship professional golfer Dustin Johnson was eliminated from a playoff because of a rules violation. He knew the rule, but during the last hole he forgot to follow it.

While your coaches are there to help you with the rules, it's your responsibility as a student-athlete to know how to apply them. Be sure you know the critical rules of your sport. It can only help benefit you and your team.

For more information on the student-athlete go to www.askbillyshep.com and www.nfhs.org.

In the Church, today is known as Our Lady of Sorrows, remembering the seven sorrows of Mary.1. Simeon’s prophecy at the presentation of Jesus in the temple;2. The flight into Egypt;3. The disappearance of the boy Jesus in Jerusalem;4. The road to Calvary;5. The Crucifixion;6. The removal from the cross;7. The entombment.

Our Lady of SorrowsBehold, your mother. (John 19:27)It would not be an exaggeration to say that Mary is the most blessed, privileged person to come from the hand of God. She was, after all, chosen to be the mother of his only-begotten Son. Imagine her delight in raising the Savior of the world, challenging though the job must have been! Throughout her life, Mary pondered and treasured the work of God and rejoiced to see his plan unfold through her.

Yet Mary also knew the deepest of human sorrows. Just days after her son was born, the prophet Simeon told her, “A sword will pierce your own soul” (Luke 2:35). These words certainly could have discouraged Mary from embracing the role that God had laid out for her—or at least drained her of all enthusiasm for her calling. But they didn’t. Instead, Mary embraced them, pondered them, and continued to live by faith in Yahweh.

Mary certainly suffered, but she was also a woman of joy and hope. Her intimacy with God was a source of consolation and trust that could withstand any tragedy. Mary is called Our Lady of Sorrows not because of the bad things that happened to her but because of the way she joined her heart to the heart of God. She saw her son endure the hatred of some of Israel’s religious leaders. She saw his disciples abandon him in his moment of need. She saw him arrested, tried, and put to death. And in all these things, Mary grasped how deeply the Father’s heart was aching with love for a wayward people. Hers were the sorrows of an intercessor who knew the suffering in the world and longed to see all people turn to Jesus for healing and salvation.

As she stood at the foot of the cross, Mary’s heart was indeed pierced—not only by the sight of Jesus’ suffering but also by all the suffering in the world. Even now, as she intercedes with her Son in heaven, she is the Mother of all those who suffer in any way. Even today, she continues to weep over all the crushing needs in this world. Like Mary, let us lift up our hearts in intercession for all those who are lost or hurting.

“Father, pierce our hearts so that we might intercede for a suffering world. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners.”
