Bishop Barber Presiding Over Upcoming Mass

The Carondelet community is blessed to welcome Bishop Barber on Wednesday, September 24. He is presiding over the Mass for Peace and Justice. Preparations for this important event will occur in religious studies classes. The Spiritual Life Council (SLC) will be sharing resources on the Mass through the Early Early Show. The deans will also be reviewing dress uniform and behavior expectations as we get closer to the date. 

We are looking forward to welcoming the Bishop and joining in prayer as a Carondelet community.

This past Wednesday, we honored two groups of donors whose investments in Carondelet help keep our mission and vision strong. We gratefully acknowledged our Tuition Assistance supporters and our 1965 Society members at lovely receptions with President Jessica Mix ’99, faculty and staff, and students.

For more information on how to be part of these core philanthropic programs and join these esteemed benefactors, please reach out to your Development Team.

Every contribution to this campaign counts. Gifts of $1,000+ will be recognized on the Power of Her Donor Wall in the new Gym Lobby. There are still dedicated naming opportunities in the Performance Center and at the CAC for those who wish to leave a lasting legacy.

Cell Phones and Screen Time Resources

Keeping up with technology, social media platforms, and current trends can often feel overwhelming. Our students are often on the cutting edge, and it can be difficult to hold them accountable and ensure that they are making age-appropriate choices when we ourselves are not in the know. Common Sense Media and their partners are working to build a healthy, equitable, and empowering future for all kids in the digital age. They have dozens of helpful articles aimed for parents including guides to Snapchat and TikTok, as well as tips for the best privacy settings and how to help teens with balancing phones, screens, and sleep.
