St. Augustine's Holy Spirit Prayer
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. Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit,
that I always may be holy.
Amen

It opened the door to so many conversations for us...I’m grateful for so many topics to consider and chat about.” “I highly recommend the transition presentation to help empower your seniors as they enter this new stage in life.” “This was my favorite presentation from CCHS counselors!"

The Penguin Project – Mentor Opportunity
The Penguin Project pairs peer mentors with young artists who have developmental or learning disabilities. Over three months, students build friendships, rehearse, and perform in a musical production.
This year, we are presenting Seussical Jr., and the program has grown so much that we now need additional mentors. We are especially looking for male mentors to help balance the team.
There is no cost to participate, and no theatre experience is needed—just a willingness to support and be a good friend.
Please visit the Theatre Charlotte website for more information. Questions can be directed to Dr. Maria Leahy or Penguin Project Artistic Director, Chris Timmons. and feel free to reach out with any questions or interest. Save the date to attend our performances on June 19-21.
