February 16, 2017


As your child may have shared or as you may have seen live on Facebook, this week we unveiled our new Eagle Pride marching band and color guard uniforms. A generous gift from Sam Rinehart '69, who played trumpet when he was an Eagle, made the gift of new uniforms possible.

There is plenty of time for students who play an instrument or are interested in learning how to play an instrument to sign-up for the 2017 Eagle Pride season. Additionally, any girls interested in joining the color guard are also encouraged to sign-up. Forms can be completed online here .  

Starting this fall, participation in Eagle Pride will qualify for use of the PE waiver. This provides a "no cost" opportunity to earn the state of Ohio required PE credit while having fun with fellow students interested in music and entertaining our fans at Roger Glass Stadium - Home of the Chaminade Julienne Eagles and other stadiums in southwest Ohio.

If you have any questions about Eagle Pride, please let me know. Go Eagles!

MINISTRY & SERVICE

From the Chaplain's Office
Update on Mother Adele: The Marianist Family recently received news regarding the cause of sainthood for Mother Adele, Foundress of the Marianist Sisters. The Vatican's Council of Theologians certified that a Marianist Sister from Italy was cured of her cancer without a medical explanation. There are still several steps involved in Mother Adele's journey to sainthood, but this is very exciting news for us!  Let's continue to pray for our CJ community through Adele's intercession.
