Greetings!
The fall sports season is winding down and the winter season will be here soon. Before we prepare for winter sports, we wish good luck to our men's and women's cross country teams who will both be participating in the regional meet this weekend. Also god luck to our Eagles football team as they take on Alter on Friday night.
On Monday, Oct. 29, there will be a parent meeting for those who have a child intending to play a winter sport. The meeting will be at 7 p.m. in the auditorium.
Additionally, those interested in participating in a winter sport need to create or update their Final Forms account. To create an account, follow the link from the
CJ athletic page
. A parent or guardian will need to start the account and sign off on all the forms, then the student will need to login and finish the account setup. Both parent and student need to fill out all forms and select the sport in which they are interested in participating in.
For those who already have an account - both the parent/guardian and student must go in and sign off on all forms as well as select the sport for the current school year. Information from last year does not carry over.

From the Chaplain's Office -
PARENT OPPORTUNITY
On Thursday, Nov. 1, we will celebrate the Solemnity of All Saints Day with an all-school Mass at Emmanuel at 9:45 a.m. On this day, we remember all the Saints who form the "great cloud of witnesses" that worship before the throne of God in heaven and intercede for us. It's a great day to remember your favorite Saints and to give thanks to God for their example and help. All are welcome to celebrate with us.
On Friday, Nov. 2, we will celebrate the Commemoration of all the Faithful Departed (All Soul's Day) at morning Mass in the CJ Chapel beginning at 7:20. On this day, we remember all who have died and pray that they may experience the fullness of life with God in heaven. We will also bless the "Dia de los Muertos Altar" that has been decorated in the Chapel by CJ students. All are welcome to join us for this celebration.
The CJ "Book of Remembrance" is available in the ministry & service office. In it, you may write the names of family and friends who have died in the past year. During November, they will be remembered in the Masses and prayers in the CJ Chapel. Please encourage your child to participate in this ancient tradition.
