Greetings!
As you may be aware, the City of Dayton is preparing for an expected white supremacist rally that will take place downtown on May 25. On that day — in an abundance of caution, Chaminade Julienne will be closed with no activities taking place on campus.
As part of who we are as a community and as a response to this particular event, CJ is actively working to provide opportunities for our students and school community to promote peace ahead of the expected rally. On Tuesday, May 21, homeroom meetings will be held with a member of Dayton’s Human Relation Council. Topics discussed will include first amendment rights and what the HRC has done to help promote community response and create a peaceful and safe environment. On Friday, May 24, all are invited to a Mass for peace and justice (7:20 a.m., CJ chapel). During the school day, students will have the opportunity to wear peace ribbons, attend a prayer service during homeroom, and unite with classmates for a special 3 o’clock prayer for unity.
We’ve been impressed with the various ways other community organizations are responding to this unfortunate event. As members of the CJ community, we are called to recognize each other as a child of God, honoring the dignity and sacredness of each person; embracing the gift of diversity; creating community among those with whom we work and serve; and educating for service, justice and peace — we strive to see our unity in Christ rather than seek those things that would divide us. Please contact us if you have any questions.
Peace and God Bless,
