A PRAYER FOR DECEMBER
BY KATIE HIGGINS, ASSISTANT VICE PRESIDENT OF MISSION

Christ-with-us and who-is-to-come,
Make of us a manger,
ready to receive You in unexpected places and people.
Fill our hearts with the gifts of peace and joy,
humility and patience, love and compassion,
so that we may welcome You fully into our lives
and share the good news of Your coming among us.
Amen.

STUDENTS TRAVEL TO IGNATIAN FAMILY TEACH-IN FOR JUSTICE, SENIOR CHLOE BECKER SPEAKS TO CROWD OF CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL & COLLEGE STUDENTS
November 16-18, eleven students and three faculty/staff members joined over 2,000 students and faculty from Catholic high schools and colleges for the Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice in Washington, D.C. The Teach-In takes place annually to commemorate the anniversary of the murder of six Jesuits and their companions in El Salvador in November 1989. Chloe Becker '20 was one of the featured speakers from the main stage during the weekend, where she spoke about the Agape Mural that she painted last spring as a vehicle to work toward racial justice in the church and the world. On Monday, the group had the opportunity to lobby their representatives on Capitol Hill about environmental justice and immigration reform.

In a Books@Work group setting, diverse perspectives are encouraged and welcomed as the group revisits paradigms and finds common ground while developing mutual respect. We hope you will join us as we work to further live out our Mission with this new initiative!

MOTHERS' & FATHERS' CLUBS SERVICE EVENTS
Last month, our Mothers' & Fathers' Clubs each hosted service opportunities for parents to come together with their daughters. The Mothers' Club assembled personal care packages to donate to the Domestic Violence Shelter, and the Fathers' Club cleared the woods in our back yard for what will eventually become the pathway for a spiritual nature walk. Thank you to all the parents and students who volunteered their time!
