The Class of 2019 will present their findings from their Senior Capstone Projects during the Sister Stang Symposium on Tuesday, March 26 at 7 p.m. This event is free and open to the public.

The Sister Stang Symposium is named in honor of Sister Dorothy Stang, SNDdeN ‘49 whose work among the farmers in Brazil served to raise awareness of human dignity and justice for the poor and of sustaining the balance of the rainforest. On February 12, 2005, she was murdered in Anapu, Para, Brazil.

Catholic Schools: Learn. Serve. Lead. Succeed. That is the theme for the 2019 Catholic Schools Week, being celebrated January 27 - February 2.

At CJ, celebrations of Catholic Schools Week are taking place each day.

On Monday, select seniors spoke with Archbishop Dennis Schnurr as part of a teleconference he holds with area high schools during Catholic Schools Week. In the afternoon, students said a special 3 o’clock in conjunction with the other Dayton-area high schools as a sign of unity.

Earlier this month, students spent part of their weekend engaging with students from other Marianist high schools for a Marianist LIFE Summit. For some of the students, it was an opportunity to reconnect with others they met over the summer during Marianist Summer LIFE week.

Make a Difference Day is one of the largest service days of the year for CJ students. All are encouraged to help in the Dayton community by spreading their love and support by volunteering. The two-day event is part of a combined area-wide effort with the United Way of Greater Dayton. Students volunteering include several Eagle sports teams, clubs, and student-led organizations. Make a Difference Day was showcased to the CJ community through posters around the school encouraging others to attend and volunteer.
