October is the month of the Holy Rosary and the Holy Angels
October is also Pro Life month
Remember O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this
confidence, I fly unto thee O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions but in thy mercy, hear and answer me. Amen.
Our Lady of Mercy and St. Joseph pray for us.

Our Caritas and Best Buddies Clubs have been active in volunteering with Special Olympics and other organizations that focus on “changing the lives of people with intellectual disabilities” (www.specialolympics.org). The 2022 Fall Special Olympics Tournament is seeking volunteers. It conflicts with CCHS Parent-teacher Conference days. We will not be able to organize a group from CCHS to attend; however, if students and/or families would like to volunteer, please see the attached flyer. In the spring, we hope to organize a CCHS group to volunteer at events. Please join Best Buddies and/or Caritas Clubs if you are interested in participating.
