Disciple Dispatch

Thank you to everyone who donated on Giving Tuesday. We raised a total of $4,240.00 and were awarded the "Where 2 or 3(0) Are Gathered" Challenge Grant. We are so grateful for all your generosity!

What a Haul!

Once again, our IHM families came through for the clients of the downtown Cathedral Outreach Center. Today, members of our Junior High Leadership Council delivered the clothing and personal care items collected this week. The center has come to rely on your generosity each year as the number of indigent clients increases and other sources of donations dwindles. On their behalf, thank you!

Hello from Catholic Central High School’s Drama Department! It’s already time to start planning for our Spring Musical. CC's musical this year is the school edition of The Addams Family, and we would love our partner middle school students to be a part of it! 

Auditions will be held in the CC Choir Room at Catholic Central High School on Monday, the 8th, or Tuesday, the 9th, of December at 3:30 pm. You can enter through the CC Main entrance, and someone will be there to guide you to the Choir Room. At the audition, we will be singing and dancing; no preparation is necessary, but a prepared portion of a song is welcome. A full rehearsal schedule will be released after auditions. Rehearsals begin in January, with performances in the 3rd week of March (March 17-21.
