Dear Cathedral Parents,
I would like to invite you to join us for Mass during the day. Our morning Masses are held five days per week at 7:00 a.m. each morning in the Sisters of Providence Chapel on the main floor of Father Kelly Hall.
Our rotating Masses vary in time, but will be shown in the emails for the coming week.
Remember, our children do what we model, not just what we say. Come in and begin the day with Jesus!

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.

Announcements:
Changes of dates to be updated in your Blue Books:
· Add PLC Schedule to November 8 and March 13.
· Math league listed in the blue book on Feb. 14 has been moved to Feb. 7.
Last Tuesday Cathedral kicked off the County system with a fun-filled assembly. The County system is a design to create 10 small groups of faculty and students and within the county itself are 6 smaller groups- called towns. These towns will meet every two weeks to discuss issues in this student lead program. Over the course of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th quarters, students can attend events, do service, and participate in events to earn point for their county. At the end of the year we will crown a county champion who will win their name on the coveted ‘Barb Fitzgerald Bell,’ which will sit in the student entrance as a reminder to all of us to be Servant Leaders.
Ask your student in which county of Ireland they will participate.

The 2011 magazine sale will officially kick off on Thursday, September 8 when the paper packets will be sent home. To date we have a number of students who have qualified for the free day by ordering at qsp.com. Several have achieved this by simply sending out personalized e mails through qsp.com which eliminates the need to collect checks and send money to school with order forms. There will be 2 random drawings of $50.00 for those students that have achieved 11 or 14 sales. Be on the outlook for information coming home with your child on September 8.
