MINISTRY & SERVICE
From the Chaplain's Office - PARENT OPPORTUNITY
During the month of November, the Church remembers all who have died. One tradition is to enroll the names of our loved ones who have passed away in the previous year in a "Book of Remembrance." The CJ Book of Remembrance will be available in the ministry & service office the next two weeks so that names can be written in it. Then, it will be placed in the chapel during November, and all our faithful departed will be remembered in our daily Masses and prayers. Please encourage your students to participate in this tradition. The book will also be available during Parent-Teacher Conferences if you would like to write in names.
