FEBRUARY 2007
EUCHARISTIC LITURGY: Our Mass schedule for the second semester is:
Monday 2:30 pm
Tuesday -Friday 10:17 am
FACULTY/STAFF PRAYER BREAKFAST: Each Thursday our faculty and staff gather for prayer before
school begins. Moms In Touch generously provide breakfast for our faculty throughout the year. If
you are able to assist by providing bagels, pastries, etc., please call Martha Hutson, our Coordinator at
704-364-5444. Monetary donations are also accepted to help defray costs. This has been a wonderful
way for our parents to express gratitude and support to our great faculty and staff.
MOMS IN TOUCH: We welcome all moms & adults to pray for our students, teachers, alumni and families
each Monday at 9:15 am in the Chapel. It is a wonderful way to support our school community!
CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WEEK:. With our theme “Catholic Schools: The Good News in Education”, our
students decided to reach out to other schools and families in need within our own country by assisting
with the continued effort to rebuild the Mississippi coast after Hurricane Katrina. The Diocese of Biloxi
will be coordinating our donations with their long-term program. We will collect new household items
(sheets of all sizes, towels, appliances, pots, pans, dishes, utensils, etc) during Catholic Schools Week.
Furniture (in good condition) is also desperately needed, but due to a lack of storage, we will not collect
these items until the week of delivery to Mississippi. Please call Campus Ministry to donate your
furniture and set up a pick up time. Beds (double or queen), dinette sets, chairs, sofas, tables, etc are
needed. We appreciate your support!
ROSARY MAKERS CLUB: A great way for students to get involved with their faith and spread the Good
News is through this fun club. All supplies are provided. All of the rosaries made are sent overseas to
missions and are also available in our chapel for students to use. The next meeting will be February 13th
in room #105 at 2:30 pm. All students are invited!
ASH WEDNESDAY: Our all school celebration of Eucharist with the distribution of ashes will be during class
periods on Wednesday, February 21, 2007 in the Chapel. Reconciliations will also be offered during
Religion classes in Lent.

Prayer for the Holy Spirit
Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit, that my thoughts may all be holy
Act in me, O Holy Spirit, that my work too may be holy
Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit, that I love but what is holy
Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit, to defend all that is holy
Guide me then, O Holy Spirit, that I always may be holy.
Mother Teresa
