Campus Ministry: September 2022 |

The New Covenant
The Gospel reveals to us how Mary prays and intercedes in faith. At Cana, the mother of Jesus asks her son for the needs of a wedding feast; this is the sign of another feast - that of the wedding of the Lamb where He gives His body and blood at the request of the Church, His Bride. It is at the hour of the New Covenant, at the foot of the cross, that Mary is heard as the Woman, the new Eve, the true "Mother of all the living." - Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2618
Mrs. Watson shares reflections based on the weekly Gospel readings of each month; you will see these beautiful images displayed in the hallway by the windows outside the Commons.

Week 3 - Saint Matthew, Apostle and Evangelist
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age. Mt 28:19
|
|
|
|
Week 4 - Saint Vincent de Paul, Priest and Father of the Poor
And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me.’ Mt 25:40

Junior and Senior Class Retreats
We have been busy preparing these retreat days for our students with Adore Ministries of Houston. These retreats have been designed for our students to encounter Jesus Christ in a variety of ways at the beautiful Holy Family Retreat Center in Fort Worth. Our class retreats are part of the spiritual formation at Nolan Catholic so they are not optional. All students should report to the AUDITORIUM on their retreat day, since many of their teachers will also be attending the retreat as chaperones and will not be in class. I am looking forward to witnessing how God will bless these retreat days next week!

The mission of #iGiveCatholic is to unite and inspire faithful Catholic communities and stewards throughout the country to "Give Back and Give Catholic" on #GivingTuesday. #iGiveCatholic is the U.S. Catholic Church’s Giving Day that kicks off the charitable season and brings the Catholic community together to give thanks and give back.
Will Nolan Catholic participate in North Texas Giving Day?
No, Nolan Catholic will not participate in North Texas Giving Day, 2022. Nolan Catholic will dedicate 100% of our single most crucial giving day to #iGiveCatholic.
Get ready to give! On Nov 29, 2022, visit #iGiveCatholic.org and donate to Nolan Catholic High School. All giving will end at 11:59 PM on Nov 29, so make sure to get your gift in on time!

How Can I Contribute?
We need your help! Please join our campaign and help us reach our goal of $250,000! You can help by:

-
Create a Peer-2-Peer page to help spread the word. This is ideal for Alumni to organize a single page for classmates to donate from a specific graduating class. Information coming soon on how to organize.
