Prayer for September
Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, dwelling pure and holy, cover my soul with your maternal protection so that being ever so faithful to the voice of Jesus, it responds to HIs love and obeys His Divine Will. I wish, O, my Mother, to keep unceasingly before me your co-redemption in order to live intimately with your Heart that is totally united to the Heart of your Divine Son. Fasten me to this Heart by your own virtue and Sorrows. Protect me always. Amen
September is the month of Our Lady of Sorrows
Our Lady of Mercy and St. Joseph pray for us.

COVID-19 Information
As of Friday, September 24, there are five reported active positive cases of COVID-19 among CCHS students, faculty and staff.
September 22 Update from Nurse Holder: Home COVID tests are not as reliable as a lab test, therefore only the Rapid or the PCR are acceptable for proof of positive or negative COVID test.
COVID Protocols and Procedures: If a student is going to be out of school due to COVID (positive test and/or exposure), please contact Kathie Holder, CCHS school nurse at kaholder@charlottecatholic.com or 704-543-0139. The nurse’s office will notify the attendance office as well as the student’s teachers, counselors and school administrators. Please do not contact the teachers or counselors to report. They will be made aware and make any necessary arrangements with the student AFTER receiving verification from the nurse regarding a COVID-related absence.
