Prayer for April - the month of the Holy Spirit

Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth. O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His consolations,
Through Christ Our Lord, Amen.

Our Lady of Mercy and St. Joseph pray for us.

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 each Friday for the following week and a complete list is available on SCOIR.
  • CCHS students are required to wear a mask while meeting with a college representative.
