September 14

Labor Day - No School!

• Today’s Prayer Intention: The cross inspires us to let go of what we want to do and to focus instead on what God wants us to do. We pray for the strength and obedience to trust in God’s plan for our lives.
• Today is the feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. Early in the fourth century, Saint Helena, mother of the Roman Emperor Constantine, went to Jerusalem in search of the holy places of Christ’s life. She ordered the demolition of the second-century Temple of Aphrodite, which tradition held was built over the Savior’s tomb, and her son built the Basilica of the Holy Sepulcher on that spot. During the excavation, workers found three crosses. Legend has it that the one on which Jesus died was identified when its touch healed a dying woman. To this day, the Eastern Churches, Catholic and Orthodox alike, celebrate the Exaltation of the Holy Cross on the September anniversary of the basilica’s dedication.
• Today is a 3-bell day with a 1:45 Saint block. Freshmen: please see Mrs. Rowland’s Sunday email with the locations you are to report to during the assembly time. All house leaders are required to attend a meeting in the library beginning at 1:50. All other students should check the Sunday email or your inbox to see if you are required to be somewhere during the Saint block. Remember—this IS part of the school day and missing a required activity during this time is considered an absence.
• The rest of the week: tomorrow is a 4-bell day; Wednesday is a 3-bell with a 2:15 dismissal. We will have our opening school liturgy during the Saint block on Wednesday. All students should be in dress uniform—skirts and green polos.
• Thursday is a 4-bell and Friday is our first 7-bell shadow day. The schedule is on Mrs. Rowland’s email.
• We have three charity events this week: tomorrow night’s volleyball game against St. Ursula. The varsity game at 6:30 is the charity event. The theme is wig out and all out green. Let’s fill the gym!
• Tuesday night when Soccer takes on St. Ursula, the varsity game at 7:00 is also a charity event! The theme is Hawaiian. Let’s fill the stands for the second night and show our Seton pride!
• And on Thursday, Tennis Black will take on Centerville at the SC at 4:30. This is the rescheduled senior night from last week! Let’s show our senior tennis Saints all the love and support.
• If you attend the tennis match AND either the volleyball game or the soccer game, you will get a coupon for a Halo Café cookie ice cream sandwich within the next week or so.
• Please remember: it is your responsibility to sign in at all charity events. If you don’t know where the sign in sheet is—you need to ask!!

• Today is the feast of Our Lady of Sorrows. Today, the Church celebrates the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows, a day for prayer and reflection on the distinct sorrows that the Blessed Virgin Mary endured in her life. The greatest of these sufferings is undoubtedly the sorrow Mary felt as she witnessed the crucifixion and death of her son. The experiences of Mary remind us that we are not alone in our experiences of sorrow. Reflecting and praying with these sorrows can be a beautiful way to find reassurance in our own struggles.
