at Cardinal Mooney $2 will be credited to your tuition account.
Not only can you use Scrip for your Christmas shopping,
you can also use it for Christmas gifts for that "hard to

the heavenly dwelling place that God has prepared for them.
May they rest in peace with You. +Amen.

. . . School
Retreat
On October 22,
students and faculty gathered for a day of retreat and renewal. The Lord was truly present in our midst!
The theme for
the freshmen retreat was “You Are Gift!”
The students responded to four challenges:
Who Am I… What Does It Mean To Be A Friend…Who Is Jesus
To Me…What Is My Call To Service.
Twenty juniors and seniors served as table leaders for
the day and fifteen of them gave personal witness to the challenges
set forth in the retreat. It was a profound day!
The sophomores
gathered at St. Paul’s Parish in New Middletown for their retreat.
Sister Kathleen McCarragher, OSU from Immaculate Conception Parish
gave the keynote address and conducted one of the sessions.
Students were divided into four groups and responded to
the theme of the day: “Building
Peace… Building Relationships.”
Jeff and Kris Kiko-Cozy, who led the students on an experience
of the dances of universal peace, conducted one session.
Other sessions included prayer and a guided meditation,
an exploration of communication skills, and a building of walls
and peace activity.
The juniors
met at the Champs Camp for their retreat day.
The theme of the day was “Finding God…Finding Ourselves.” Half of the day was spent in prayer, reflection
and discussion led by Ms. Paulette Petrosky, Principal of St.
Nicholas School in Struthers.
She challenged the students to look at the choices they
make and to see the interaction of God in our daily lives.
The other part of the day was doing the Champs Course in
which students worked together to solve the challenges set before
them. It was a great day of community building and
prayer.
The seniors
gathered at the Ursuline Education Center for their retreat. The theme of the day was “The Journey Continues.” Students rotated between four sessions that
focused on the theme: Prayer
for the Journey…Celebrating God’s Gifts to You…Getting to Know
You…Memories and Hopes. The day began with an opening address
by Mr. Tom Bagola from the Youngstown State University Newman
Center. The day ended
with a powerful sending forth prayer.
SPECIAL THANKS…to
the Theology Department for their leadership and commitment to
these retreats. Thank you to the entire faculty for their involvement
in leading sessions and serving as a support staff for the day.

FUTURE BUSINESS
LEADERS OF AMERICA
Wednesday evening, October 22, 2003, the Cardinal Mooney chapter of FBLA
(Future Business Leaders of America) held their annual Installation
of Members and Officers. Seventy-five

Installation was officiated by Ms. Wanda Knittel, Faculty Advisor for the
Chapter. Keynote Speaker
for the evening was Mr. Terry Reardon ('81), local entrepreneur
and partner in the Higgins-Reardon Funeral Homes.
The Mooney chapter of FBLA is the only chapter of that organization in

in state competitions, and last year even counted the Northeast
Vice President of Ohio as a member (President Andreann Catalano,
now a freshman at Ohio State University).
The organization gives students a chance to take those
skills they learn in their business classes and fine-tune them
by competing with students from this region, the entire state,
and then on the national level. They learn leadership and self-confidence.
We encourage parents to join the members
at activities and fund-raisers, and invite new students to come
out and see what it is all about.

VCR’s and other audio-visual equipment without increase-ing the
burden of cost to our students and their parents. Save your tapes
and send them in.
PRINTER LASER AND
INKJET TONER CARTRIDGE
AND OLD
CELL PHONE RECYCLE
PROGRAM
Cardinal Mooney
High School is helping to keep our earth green by participating
in this innovative recycling program.
The FundingFactory will reward our school with
software and computer supplies for our participation. Please help us by sending your old inkjet or
laser printer cartridges to the school office.
When you upgrade your cell phone, send us the old one
for recycling. These programs will keep our landfills from
filling with unnecessary materials - items that most people just
throw away!
ONLINE SHOPPING
Cardinal Mooney
is also enrolled in an online shopping program.
The program site is www.Technology4Kids.com. The program is for many top-name merchants:
LL Bean, Lands’ End, OfficeMax, J.C. Penney, and Kohl’s Department
Stores, etc. Many of
these merchants offer money-saving offers and often offer FREE
SHIPPING to shoppers through the Technology4Kids web site.
To access the
program and send benefits to Mooney, shoppers must go to the www.Technology4Kids.com website and register. Entry to the merchant sites and special offers
must be made through this site.
Going directly to the merchant site will not give the same
benefits to the customer or to our school.
