Spring is in the air! We, at Lancaster Catholic High School, would like to give you the opportunity to celebrate the Easter season and help those in need at the same time. The Varsity Club is selling spring flowers to raise money for items to be given to those starting out on their own after a temporary stay at the Transitional Living Center, home to Veterans’ Victory House on King Street in Lancaster.

On the order form are descriptions and prices of the flowers available from Stauffers of Kissel Hill. You may choose from tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, and Easter lilies. Please fill out the form and return it to the school to our attention. The form can also be found on the Parents tab on Lancaster Catholic’s website. Checks can be made payable to Lancaster Catholic High School.

Orders will also be collected at our meeting in April. The sale begins on March 20th and ends on April 3rd. Please consider using the plants to decorate your own home or to give as gifts to friends or family members.

The flowers will be available for pick up on Tuesday, April 16th from 3:00 to 5:00 pm at the school cafeteria. We cannot be responsible for plants ordered and not picked up, so please mark the date on your calendar.

Sincerely, Rhonda Byers & Jacqueline Cicchetti Varsity Club Moderators

Lancaster Catholic High School School Counseling Corner So What Do Sophomores Do?

If you’re the parent of a sophomore, I’m sure you wonder what their next steps should be. The School Counselors are beginning to meet with their sophomore students to discuss just that.

In addition to the Career Key in Naviance, we are encouraging all students to start exploring the different tabs in Naviance, particularly the resume. The resume can be edited throughout the high school years to include: leadership roles, academic and athletic achievements, community service, part time job experiences, etc. All this information is saved to a student’s account and can be updated every year or whenever a student achieves a new goal.

After discussing classes, the School Counselors are providing handouts to their students.

The flyer can be downloaded by clicking here.

Diocese of Harrisburg Men’s Conference The 8th Annual Diocesan Men’s Conference is being held April 6th at Bishop McDevitt High School, Harrisburg.

Over the past several years, our Men’s Conference has been the largest annual diocesan event. It has been an excellent experiences for the many attendees. This has come through loud and clear by the yearly attendance, through the written evaluations, and anecdotally by word-of-mouth.

The majority of our attendees are from parishes in the Diocese of Harrisburg, though last year and the year before, there were also attendees from all four eastern Pennsylvania dioceses/archdiocese, as well as from several western PA dioceses.

While this is a Catholic Men’s Conference, non-Catholics are welcome to attend as well. We have quite a lineup. In fact, I think it is our best ever.

It is definitely our largest and most wide-ranging group of speakers and workshops…42 different workshop topics in all.

Registration Deadline – April 1, 2019. Cost is $35 per man. Click here to register and for more information about the event.
