It can be as simple and fun as attending a school or sporting event or more spiritually satisfying by celebrating Mass in the CC Chapel (7:20 a.m. weekdays when school is in session). Also, your Alumni Association puts on several events annually in addition to the softball and basketball leagues: • Boys’ Bowl Mass and Breakfast (fall) • Memorial Mass and Breakfast (fall) • Winter Retreat (January) • Ash Wednesday Mass (winter/spring) • Alumni Dinner and All Classes Reunion (spring) • Alumni Basketball and Softball Leagues (winter and spring) • Shamrock Bar Association for CC legal professionals (spring and fall events)

This can be by way of financial support, which is always needed and appreciated, but more importantly by volunteering your time. Your Alumni Association coordinates a Career Guidance program for the sophomores where we bring in alumni from different fields to discuss their work and the path that got them there. I have personally presented several times, and it is always very enjoyable and rewarding. The Shamrock Bar Association coordinates with the school’s Mock Trial Team to provide coaching and mentorship. These are only a couple of the opportunities to get involved and support the school. If you are able to participate, I guarantee you’ll get much more out of it than you put in. We are gradually returning to the “new normal,” and now is the time for you to get involved with the school and Alumni Association. Elsewhere in this issue you’ll read about
