From the Chaplain's Office
Next
Thursday, Dec. 8, CJ will celebrate the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of Mary with an all-school Mass at Emmanuel Church at
10:00 a.m. This feast day recalls the dogma which teaches that Mary was preserved from original sin from the moment of her conception. You are always welcome to join us.
At this liturgy, CJ will also celebrate the Bicentennial of the founding of the Marianist Sisters and the Marianist Brothers and Priests. Several Marianist Religious from the Dayton area will be joining us for Mass. We are also privileged to be hosting the Marianist Bicentennial icon on this day. It is an icon of the Wedding Feast of Cana and includes original letters from the hands of Mother Adele and Blessed Chaminade. The icon is "travelling" to every Marianist community in the world, beginning last May in Agen, France, and concluding January 2018 in Ranchi, India. After Mass, the icon will be on display in the Welcome Center. On that day, we are also hoping for a visit from "Father Chami." Make sure to ask your student about him!

Volunteer Opportunity - PARENT INVOLVEMENT
Request for Those Traveling to Florida
I am recruiting one or more CJ families who will be traveling any time over Christmas break to Florida to help by delivering Toys For God's Kids small wooden toy cars to an Sisters of Notre Dame community there, the Hope CommUnity Center.
The Center is located 30 minutes from Orlando.
Families would be asked to pack several wooden cars in their suitcases and then deliver the cars to the Center. Families would then have the opportunity to visit the Center and see firsthand the services and programs they offer to help many people. Contact me if you are interested in volunteering.

Founders' Thoughts
"Time is like loose change. it is given to us here below to buy the real things of eternity. Let us use it and teach others, too , to use it well.
"
"True missionaries should not count on themselves, their talents, or their industry, but they should put all their confidence in the grace of their mission and the protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary."
