Bishop Robert Barron recently had the opportunity to address 9,000 teenagers in Los Angeles. It was a beautiful message of spiritual truth - defining happiness, excellence, and even rebellion in practical terms. I share his words with you now and will echo his words in future school Mass homilies!

Did you know Deacon Rick has published a second book?
His book, "Fifty Homilies from the Deacon's Desk" can be purchased from the BCHS Campus Ministry Office or the front desk beginning

The cost for the books is $16.95. $2 per book will be donated to Helping Our Own People (HOOP), an organization serving the unsheltered homeless in Indianapolis.

Live like a Trojan, Give like a Trojan!
November 29
is a universal day of giving when we all focus on community and ways to give back - concepts synonymous with Bishop Chatard High School. Please join us in supporting our North Deanery High School in a way that will enable students to receive an academically challenging, faith-based education for years to come.
All BCHS students will be given an envelope on Monday, and they are being asked to return the envelope on our Trojan Pride Day of Giving. Each student is asked to fundraise $40 or more by contacting family members, friends, coaches and others who support BCHS.
As an incentive, an official BCHS Ugly Christmas Sweatshirt is being offered to anyone who donates $50 or more by Nov. 29 at 8 p.m.! To learn more and to donate, click here
. All current students, parents and alumni are also encouraged to send photos throughout the day to
communications@bishopchatard.org
of ways you show your Trojan Pride. Watch Facebook and Twitter for these photos throughout the day!
Thanks for giving! Go Trojans!
