November is the month of the Holy Souls in Purgatory
Have mercy on me, O God, in your goodness; in the greatness of your compassion wipe out my offense. May the divine assistance remain always with us and may the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God rest in peace. Eternal rest, grant unto them
O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. Amen.
Our Lady of Mercy and St. Joseph pray for us.

Help protect all of God’s children:
Everyone has a role to play in protecting children. North Carolina law requires all adults to immediately report suspected child abuse by anyone to law enforcement agencies. If you know or suspect that a minor (person under 18) has been abused, please call 9-1-1 or contact local law enforcement.
Also, if you have information about possible sexual abuse or misconduct by any clergy, employee or volunteer of the Diocese of Charlotte, report concerns securely and anonymously 24/7 over the phone or online: 1-888-630-5929 or www.RedFlagReporting.com/RCDOC.
Safe Environment training:
Did you know that every Church worker must go through abuse prevention and education training? Find more information about the Diocese of Charlotte’s Safe Environment program, sign up for Protecting God’s Children training and more: https://charlottediocese.org/human-resources/safe-environment.

Counselors' Corner
A college representative will meet in-person, or virtually where indicated, at CCHS with any Sophomore, Junior or Senior student that is interested. A counselor is also present.
- A college rep is the person who reads the application for admission, so a face-to-face meeting will serve the student well.
- The student must print a screenshot of the SCOIR registration and have their teacher sign it as their pass.
- A student needs to remember that they are representing CCHS at these meetings so come with some good questions and your best behavior.
- The visits will be listed by Friday for the following week and a complete list is available on SCOIR.
- Unless otherwise noted, both in-person and virtual college visits will take place in the Counseling Office’s College Center.
