From the Chaplain's Office
We will continue our all class Masses next week with the Sophomores (Monday, Apr. 1) and Freshmen (Tuesday, Apr. 2). This is an opportunity for students to gather together as a class to celebrate the Eucharist during an extended homeroom period.
On Wednesday, Apr. 3 and Thursday, Apr. 4 we will be offering the Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession) during religion classes. In the Sacrament, we are invited to be aware of our sinfulness but also to encounter God's loving mercy. To facilitate the Sacrament, many local priests have generously agreed to come to CJ to help.
This Fourth Sunday of Lent, we are invited to reflect upon the Parable of the Prodigal Son (Lk 15:11-32). In this story, both the younger and the older son come to realize the Father's gracious mercy and compassion. It is an invitation to us to let go of things such as greed or jealousy, and to open our hearts to God's wonderful love. Consider giving yourself a 5 minute retreat this week by listening to this beautiful parable
