All sophomores will attend a motivational leadership workshop from Ted Wiese on  Tuesday, Mar. 28 during the school day.  Ted,  an annual presenter at CJ, comes to us from Carmel, Indiana and engages students in activities that grow skills in teamwork, problem-solving, and communication (see more details ).

On this day, the sophomore class will be split into two groups to attend this half-day workshop. While one group attends the workshop, the other will follow their normal class schedule. The two groups will switch in the afternoon.

This leadership training will use a combination of real life stories and dynamic activities to challenge our sophomores to become positive leaders in their communities. If you have questions about this experience, please contact me.

MINISTRY & SERVICE

From the Chaplain's Office
Last week, all students were given the opportunity to participate in the Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession) during their religion classes.

  • Fr. Ethan Moore (St. Peter/OL Rosary/Holy Cross/St. Adalbert)
  • Fr. Chris Worland (St. Albert the Great)
  • Fr. Jim Russell, SM (UD Retired)
  • Fr. Jim Fitz, SM (UD VP for Mission and Rector)
  • Fr. Greg Konerman (Holy Angels/St. Anthony)
  • Fr. Ted Cassidy, SM (UD Campus Ministry)
  • Fr. Kip Stander, SM (UD Campus Ministry)
  • Fr. Ed Pratt (Ascension)
  • Fr. Angelo Anthony, C.PP.S. (Emmanuel/Holy Trinity/St. Joseph)
  • Fr. Emmanuel Fale (Emmanuel)
Just a reminder, that I am available during lunches on Tuesday and other times by appointment for the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

PERFORMING ARTS

A Night of One Acts Auditions
Wednesday, Mar. 29  |  3:30-5:30 p.m.  |  Band Room
Auditions and tech interviews for CJ's third annual student-directed  A Night of One Acts  will be on  Wednesday, Mar. 29  from  3:30-5:30 p.m.  in the band room. No preparation is necessary as auditions will be cold readings from the scripts. Students interested in tech crew will participate in an interview.  A Night of One Acts  is scheduled for  Friday, Apr. 28 . This is a great opportunity, especially for students who are interested in getting on stage, but have other commitments throughout the school year, that prevent their involvement. The rehearsal process is about three weeks (as opposed to three months for the fall play and spring musical).
