Today is the feast of Saint Bruno. He lived during the 11th century. He fought against the extravagant living by some priests and bishops of that time. He started the religious order called the Carthusians, and had them live in desert or mountainous areas to guarantee a life of silence and poverty so they could truly focus on God.
Prayer Intention: We pray that we will not let material things distract us from our relationship with God.
Today is a 3-bell day with a 1:46 assembly. Tomorrow is a 4-bell; Wednesday is a 3-bell with a 2:15 dismissal; Thursday is a 4-bell and Friday is a 7-bell.
Spanish Honor Society will have a mandatory meeting tomorrow morning at 7:25 in Ms. Stepp's room (132). Please bring your $10. We will be electing our new officers. Please email Ms. Stepp if you cannot make it or have any questions.
Let’s update charity points: We had a great turnout at last week’s soccer game and each house got one or two extra points for having “new” people (anyone who had not attended a charity event before!) We had a total of just about 150 Saints!
The standings are: Cedar holds on to first place with 153 points; Emmits and Segale are tied for second with 149; and O’Connell is right behind with 147.
There are two events left in this round: Saturday’s Cross Country GGCL meet at Christ Church in Mason and the Performing Arts Showcase on Saturday, October 18.
Remember—every person who attends earns a point for their house!! You could make the difference!
We also used the soccer event to determine the top participating mentor group in each house. The results are: top Cedar MG—Guck/Childers with 24% participation. In Emmits—the ice cream trophy stays with Rider/Philipps with 38% participation. In O’Connell, it stays with Cox MG with the highest participation in the school at 48%; and in Segale, it stays with Denney/Lott with 31%. Those MGs will receive a small treat this week!
Happy Birthday today to: McKinley Ruhe and Carolina Tirado.

Today is the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. The purpose of the rosary is to help us meditate on the great mysteries of our salvation. The main focus is on Jesus—his birth, life, death resurrection and ascension. The “Our Father’s” remind us that our salvation begins with God, the Father. The “Hail Mary’s” remind us to join with Mary in contemplating these mysteries. The “Glory Be’s” remind us that the purpose of all life is the glory of the Trinity.
Prayer Intention: We pray that we will try to live each day according to the example of Jesus and Mary.
We also pray fort God’s healing touch on the Moeller sophomore who was critically injured in a hit and run over the weekend.
Today is a 4-bell day
Remember: there are two events left in this round of charity points: Saturday’s Cross Country GGCL meet at Christ Church in Mason and the Performing Arts Showcase on Saturday, October 18.

Amen.

To sign up, contact Sister Sandy ASAP. Her contact info is on the Seton Service Google Classroom page. Once you contact her, she will send you a link to sign up.
