Renal Prom
This year’s Renal Prom—"Somewhere Over the Rainbow"—will be Sunday, January 18 in the Notre Dame gym. Notre Dame students and alumni will host teenagers from all over southern California and other states for this annual event. Donations of evening accessories, shawls, costume jewelry, purses, dresses (smaller sizes are particularly needed) and men’s ties would be greatly appreciated. Our teen guests greatly enjoy guest appearances by actors or actresses who would like to spend an hour or so posing for pictures with them. Contact Mr. De Silva at (818) 933-3670 or desilva@ndhs.org if you can help with guest appearances. Making a Difference
Thank you so much to the students who spent their Sunday with the Autistic teens. You made a difference in someone's life and you should be very proud of yourself. The next event will be a Holiday party in December, I hope you will participate. If you are interested and were not able come to the event on Sunday talk to Miss Lander for more details. |
Educating the heart and mind is at the core of Notre Dame’s ministry team. Creating and sustaining an environment which nurtures “the formation of the hearts of students and the development of a positive response toward religion within them. I have always understood education to be only this. I have always been convinced that the first duty of any teacher is to produce Christians; society today has a greater need for people of values than it has for scholars.” Fr. Moreau.
“A distinctive characteristic of campus ministry is the multifaceted presence they have to the student, touching everything from catechesis to counseling to companionship. The presence and activity of campus ministers is a ministry of leadership and accompaniment. Campus Ministry has a unique opportunity to challenge students to examine their life-experiences with the perspective of faith and to learn ways in which daily life and faith converge.
Faith cannot be communicated as something which is proper only to religion classes or campus ministry activities; it must infiltrate every aspect of daily life. The ideal for campus ministry to serve the whole community is for students to see that faculty and staff are also working to see and understand the bridge between faith and daily experience.” Heritage and Mission in the Holy Cross Tradition.
