Ritter College Prep Vital Part of the City Since 1979, Cardinal Ritter College Prep High School has been committed to providing an exemplary education to Saint Louis metropolitan area youth by instilling attitudes of success and self-worth through faith-development, academic excellence, and leadership training. Cardinal Ritter Prep is an independent Archdiocesan high school. Our graduates are inspired to succeed, and their aspirations are rewarded: 100 percent of our graduates are accepted to one or more colleges or universities of their choice.

The current student body is primarily comprised of young African-American men and women from across the socioeconomic spectrum. We offer families a

college-prep alternative that features a high school education deeply rooted in the core values of faith, tradition, and dedication.

We maintain the lowest private high school tuition in the area.

With a strong foundation in excellence, compassion, and leadership, our graduates are prepared to succeed in college and to have fulfilling careers. Our alumni include scientists, physicians, teachers, lawmakers, artists, activists and community leaders who are making a positive impact on our city, our region, and our nation.

Preparing students for college Our college–preparatory curriculum, including college-credit courses, integrates

the most advanced learning theories and technology. Our faculty and staff are dedicated to providing students with a strong learning environment that fosters art and cultural organizations, universities, businesses, and community groups that enrich the educational experience through special programs, and help prepare our graduates to succeed in college and beyond.

One hundred percent of our graduates attend college after graduation, and many go on to study at the post-graduate level.

Every year over half of our students receive a variety of scholarships. Collectively, our students earn approximately three million dollars or more per year. We have produced Gates Millennium Scholars, National Merit Scholars, Commended Scholars, National Achievement Scholars, and Presidential Scholars.

A Creative Learning Environment

Our Art Department is unsurpassed in the St. Louis region in both talent and experience. As a result, art students at Cardinal Ritter Prep are challenged to express themselves beyond the boundaries of the traditional high school experience.

Classes consist of the study of the principles of art, art history, and several hands-on projects of various media. This is reinforced with related vocabulary and personal interpretation.

Art students who express interest in becoming professional artists are nurtured throughout their years at Cardinal Ritter Prep, preparing them for the exciting and competitive world of professional graphics and fine arts.

Intern Leadership Program

The Intern Leadership Program (ILP) provides AfricanAmerican youth with leadership opportunities that help them become highly-productive and responsible citizens in the Saint Louis community.

Cardinal Ritter Prep juniors and seniors in ILP can receive leadership scholarships and summer internships with local major employers. The Intern Leadership Program is a sixyear program that challenges students to take a deeper look at the traits of a good leader. Students are trained to work in professional environments and are placed in internships that last throughout their collegiate experience. Upon college graduation, participants are in an excellent position to earn a job if they commit to work for the sponsor company for at least four years after graduation.

A Caring Community

All of our students participate in leadership training. Students learn the characteristics of great leaders and how to become leaders in their own schools, homes, and communities. We believe it is our job to nurture, as well as to educate, the whole

person. A Cardinal Ritter Prep education means so much more than just learning dates and memorizing equations. It means learning about the world, acting with compassion, and appreciating differences.

Beyond classroom work, our teachers and administrators act as role models and mentors. We are a caring community, a safe haven, and a place to call home. We help every student achieve success. Our students leave Cardinal Ritter Prep with a foundation of self-respect and compassion for others that stays with them for the rest of their lives.

Faith-based High School Experience

“…who has been given much, much will be required…” ~Luke 12:48.

This lesson from the Gospel is woven through every aspect of the Cardinal Ritter Prep education. As a faith-filled organization, we focus on Christian service. Each year our students volunteer hundreds of hours in the community, including tutoring students in our local neighborhood middle schools, and helping to repair dilapidated homes through the Solomon Project. Instilling a strong moral foundation in our students is an integral part of our mission.

Share in the sports Legacy

Year after year, the Cardinal Ritter Prep Lions bring excitement to the field, court and beyond. Our long tradition of athletic excellence is enjoyed and celebrated by students, staff, and alumni. The athletic experience deepens the sense of sportsmanship, camaraderie, and commitment among the students. The thrill of winning is never forgotten. Winning eleven state titles combined in basketball, football, and track shows the growth and stability of our athletic program.

The School Day and Beyond

Come for a Visit

We encourage 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students who are interested in our school to “shadow” a current student for a day. Elementary groups can also be arranged. To schedule a visit, please call the Admissions Office at 314-446-5524 at least one week in advance.

Summer Academic and Athletic Camps

We offer a dynamic summer academic experience for budding scholars and a variety of summer athletic programs.

Contact us for additional information:

With big shoes to fill, Coach Randy Reed takes over as new Athletic Director and Varsity Basketball Coach at Cardinal Ritter College Prep.

“Cardinal Ritter has always been known for producing not only quality athletes, but leaders in our community,” stated Reed. “It will be exciting to be a part of that tradition.”

Cardinal Ritter has always had a storied program, now it is in the hands of one of St. Louis’ most successful coaches.

The future Hall of Fame coach, takes over for another, Coach Marvin Neals, who led the Lions to four State Championships and a 21-6 record last year.

Reed returns to the high school hardwood after spending the last two seasons at St. Louis Community College, where he was an All-American as a collegiate player in the 1970s.

“With everything that is going on today with our youth, I felt I had to get back and make a difference before they reached that critical point in their lives,” said Reed. “These are great young men and women, and the future leaders of our community. I want to be a part of that again.”

Reed’s last high school stint was at the powerhouse McCluer North, where he took the Stars to seven district titles, made four Final Four appearances, and won Class 5 state championships in 2007, 2011 and 2012. The Stars were also Class 5 runners-up in 2008.

Pope Francis has called us to be people of mercy, and has proclaimed a Year of Mercy during which we will be practicing mercy more intentionally to those we know, and more especially, to those we do not.

To show mercy is to be compassionate, sensitive, forgiving and kind. It is not limited to judgment and commutation of a prison sentence, for example. It is simply thinking about the well being of others, rather than placing ourselves first at all times.

Over the years, a beautiful relationship between St. Clare of Assisi Catholic School in Ellisville and its neighbor, St. Gemma Center (Archdiocesan

To learn more about the Archdiocesan Department of Special Education and its ten schools and centers, visit archstl.org/dse.

Department of Special Education) has developed quietly, and with no particular fanfare, until recently. Last night, KMOV featured a “News4Schools” story about St. Clare music teacher, Bridget McCormick, who volunteers her planning time once a week to teach music to the seven students at St. Gemma—clearly what Pope Francis has in mind when he speaks about mercy.

And not only that. St. Clare has literally opened its doors and hearts, and taken the St. Gemma students and teachers in for the final two weeks of school, after St. Gemma had to close its building due to a sewer problem.

This is inclusion at its best!

“Joe” (See story at right.)

This sculpture is the first in Richard Serra's series of torqued spirals. It is named for the late Joseph Pulitzer, Jr., (1913-1993) one of the earliest supporters of Serra's work.

St. Joseph’s Academy freshmen, Sophia L. (left) and Holly S., have won a place at this year’s National History Day national contest in Washington, D.C. in June, and will represent the State of Missouri. Their project, “Abraham Lincoln, Both the Man and the President,” addresses this year’s NHD contest theme, “Leadership and Legacy.” In preparation, all national finalists in Missouri are invited to a full-day clinic to be held at UMSL on how to improve an already-excellent project. To learn more about National History Day, visit NHD.org Saint Joan of Arc Catholic School eighth grade students made a

recent visit to the Pulitzer Arts Foundation, thanks to their membership in the Des Lee Fine Arts Collaborative.

At left, students pose in front of the Serra sculpture, "Joe," a torque spiral weighing 125 tons, which students quickly calculated into pounds.

In the context of this exhibition, the sculpture can be seen as a portrait, (by associating its qualities with those of Joseph Pulitzer, Jr.) as an homage, (because the title can be taken as a dedication) and as an embodied experience (in that the work is inseparable from one's movement in and around it).

The 4 C’s of Multi-Family Vacations

teen talk

A

s a child of divorced parents, I know how difficult summers can be for kids like me. My parents divorced when I was only a year old, so my holidays have been split between two different families in two different states my whole life. As a teenager busy with friends, school, and sports, these split times are difficult to suit my schedule. For example, basketball usually has tournaments during the holiday breaks, as well as summer track, AAU basketball, and camps that I attend every summer to better myself for the goals I have set for my future. With the visitation schedule set by the courts, how can I play on an AAU team over the summer, if I am to be in two different states during those months? How can I play in a Holiday Tournament, if I am to be in Tennessee during the odd or even year of Christmas and Thanksgiving break? How can I run for my high school cross-country team on the weekends, if I have to go out of state every other weekend?

I love both my mother and father, and wish I could spend as much time with them as possible. BUT, I also love and live for the activities and sports that I have worked so hard to be good at. It is also harder when my parents’ only communications are through me or the judge. So, what do I do? Go spend time with my mother during the time the judge has given me, and let my team down because I have to miss a game or tournament? Or, do I disappoint her yet again, and choose to stay in Missouri, and play with my team?

Choose... Communicate… Compromise…Commit...

Choose. As teenagers, we make decisions every day that may affect our lives, our relationships, and our general well-being. In situations like mine, and most likely, many of yours, if you come from a two-family household, we have to be involved in decisions that affect us. So…Choose! You can’t communicate what you want, if you do not know what you want. Weigh out the pros and cons of the situation, who may get hurt, and who may gain from your decision. And, once you make that well-thought-out decision, go on to the next step.

Communicate. A few months ago, my father and I watched Cool Hand Luke, an old movie about a prisoner who kept trying to escape from his chains. (The movie came out the year my father was born, so you know it is really old!) But there is one line that stuck out throughout the movie, and my father tried to imitate it many times with an old Southern twang (not with much success, of course).

by Xavier Ludwig Saint Louis University High

“What we got here is failure to communicate!”

Sometimes, as teenagers, we do fail to communicate to our parents what we really want, what we really need, in order to get through these tough years. We are trying to break from the chains that bind us to childhood, and break through to the other side - adulthood. But with this freedom, there are difficult decisions to make, and ultimately, someone may get their feelings hurt, if we fail to communicate the right way. If our parents refuse to communicate, then we must. If they fail to listen to our feelings, then we must communicate in a way to help them listen, without confrontation or argument. (I know that is hard, especially with people as stubborn as my parents, but we must!)

Compromise. There is plenty of time to share with two parents, even in two different states. As teenagers, we must find a way to balance out this time, not only for each parent, but also for ourselves. We must talk to them, and try to make alternate plans to suit everyone’s schedule and needs. We can try to work out plans that may involve a parent traveling to see a game and then, spending the remainder of that weekend with us. Or, we might switch the times, or holidays to try and please all involved.

I have found that writing a letter to each parent, or both, works miracles. They read it, digest it, and respond, and usually, all of the arguing is eliminated. They know how I feel, what I want, and what I need. Try this the next time you want to communicate something you know will cause an argument with your parents. It is better than the alternative!

Commit. Once a deal has been made between you and both parents, commit to it. Do not change your mind at the last second, especially if your parents have re-arranged their schedules to suit yours. If you have to write down the plans that were agreed upon so that everyone commits, do so!

Remember... Choose... Communicate… Compromise…

Commit In a perfect world, with a perfect family, we would never have to deal with all of this. Judges and courts would not be involved in figuring out what is in our best interests. But, we do not live in that perfect world. We live in a world where almost half of all marriages end in divorce, and we must make the best of it… together!

Have a great summer!

What Sort Of Man The Abbot Should Be

by Father Augustine Wetta, Saint Louis Priory School

When a man takes the name of Abbot, he should govern his disciples by a twofold teaching; namely, he should show them all that is good and holy by his deeds more than by his words … Let him so adjust and adapt himself to each one according to his character and understanding – that he not only suffer no loss in his flock, but may rejoice in the increase of a worthy fold.

And let the Abbot always bear in mind that he will be held accountable by God Himself for both his own teaching and for the obedience of his disciples.

~ Chapter 2, The Rule of Saint Benedict

F

or a monk, the abbot takes the place of Christ in this world. His monks owe him respect, love, and above all, obedience. But unlike Christ, the abbot is imperfect. In one sense, therefore, every abbot is a hypocrite, because it is his job to teach his monks how to do something that even he can’t do. I’m guessing this is why Saint Benedict named this chapter, “What Sort of Man the Abbot Should Be,” and not, “What Sort of Man the Abbot Is.” No matter. We owe him obedience, anyway, because God put him in charge. This is why we call him “Abbot,” an ancient word for “Father.”

Saint Benedict understands this. So he warns the abbot that he will be held accountable by God. This can be comforting to those of us who are put under someone else’s authority, but it can also be very frightening when we assume that authority ourselves.

teen talk

The abbot, like any parent, receives his authority straight from God. Every culture in the world recognizes, that unless parents do real harm to their children, no one has the right to take this authority away from them. But right around our teenage years, we begin to realize that this authority is neither earned, nor deserved, nor even effectively managed. Our parents demand things of us that they themselves would never do. They forbid things that they would never give up. All sorts of rules apply to us, but very few seem to apply to them.

www.catholicfamilyonline.com

A commentary on the Rule of Saint Benedict...for beginners

Of course, you may not find yourself wielding the sort of influence that an abbot has, but there are other positions of leadership that carry the same obligations: the team captain, the club president…even just being popular carries the weight of considerable responsibility, because your peers look to you as a mentor, and as an example. They will imitate your virtues, but they will also use your vices to excuse their own misbehavior.

So beware. One way or another, you will be held accountable— and more so, by the example you set, than by the words you speak.

ric Greitens - St. Louisan, former Navy SEAL, Rhodes scholar, and bestselling author - delivered the keynote address at Saint Louis Priory School’s 2015 Father-Son banquet. As a gift, each young man received a copy of Eric’s best-selling book, The Warrior’s Heart: Becoming A Man of Compassion and Courage.

The Warrior’s Heart brings to life for teens Eric’s adventures, and shares stories of friendship, struggle, and hard-earned wisdom. Eric’s inspiring personal stories help us live every day with compassion and courage.

Catholic Family sat down with Eric to talk about his Fathers’ Day must-read, The Warrior’s Heart, his new book, Resilience, and on being a new father.

feature article

Why did you write The Warrior’s Heart?

When we released The Heart and the Fist in 2011, many parents wrote in to say that they enjoyed reading the book to their children, or giving it as a gift to their sons and daughters. We also received many letters and emails from young people who were training to become Navy SEALs, or are serving in their communities. It was inspiring to see that the book had a positive impact on their lives.

After seeing so many of these responses to The Heart and the Fist, it was clear that the message of service could resonate with an even younger audience.

What lessons do you hope fathers and sons will learn from The Warrior’s Heart?

The world needs you. Even at your young age, you can start serving in your community right now. By taking all of your

The Warrior’s Heart -

potential, and developing it through service, you can become stronger, more courageous, and more compassionate.

And, I hope that fathers will encourage their sons and daughters to use their talents, gifts, and strengths to create positive change.

What is your new book about, and who should read Resilience?

Resilience is about how people who move through hardship and become better. No one escapes pain, fear, and suffering. Yet from pain comes wisdom, from fear comes courage, from suffering comes strength—if we build the virtue of resilience.

This is a book for people who’ve lived enough to know that life can be hard, but who are tough enough to appreciate that hardship can create strength.

For those people, I think that the book will resonate.

How has fatherhood changed you?

Fatherhood has made me appreciate my own father even more. My dad often left the house around four-thirty a.m., so that he could put in a day’s work and still be home when we came home from school to help us with our homework. He coached our teams. He was a great father, and if I can be as good a father to my son, I’ll have lived a good life.

What world do you want your son to inherit?

A better world. We’ll never get it perfect, but if we all dedicate ourselves to serving a purpose larger than ourselves, we can build a more compassionate and courageous world.

In this adaptation of his best-selling book, The Heart and the Fist, Eric speaks directly to teens, interweaving memoir and intimate second-person narratives that ask readers to put themselves in the shoes of himself and others.

Readers will share in Eric’s evolution from average kid to humanitarian to warrior, training and serving with the most elite military outfit in the world. Along the way, they’ll be asked to consider the power of choices, of making the decision each and every day to act with courage and compassion so that they grow to be tomorrow’s heroes.

Dad??

by Joy Holdmeier

Want to train to be a “SuperHero Dad” with your kids?

Try this fun workout at home with them. They could really care less how many of anything you can do, but will be sure to be begging for “more, more!!” Your children can also make for perfect-size weights for an at-home workout!

Sit-Ups - Hold your baby or toddler at your chest as you do sit-ups, or, if you have older children, let them sit on your feet, and count 40 sit-ups.

Overhead Press - Hold your child under his/her arms to press them overhead. Again, the heavier the better! Do 20 presses.

Happy Father’s Day, “SuperHero Dads!!”

Running - Having the kids ride their bikes alongside you keeps you challenged for speed, and keeps them having fun! Find a nice flat trail, and try 1-2 miles.

We all know you are already a “SuperHero Dad,” but the more active you are with your children, the more “super” you will be for them, and the better you will feel! It’s a win-win!

Push-Ups - Let your little ones lie on Daddy’s back while you pump out 20! The heavier they are, the better!

Wa lk i ng Lunges - Let your child sit on your shoulders as you do walking lunges. If you have multiple children, they will all need a turn! 20 lunges each!

Stroke Patients Get

Relief at SLU Hospital!

health & wellness

hen it comes to stroke, time lost is brain lost… approximately two million brains cells per minute.

“As soon as blood flow is halted by a clot, the brain tissue that is supplied by that blood starts to melt away,” said Randall Edgell, MD, a SLUCare interventional neurologist at Saint Louis University Hospital, and one of the neurospecialists serving the MidAmerica Stroke Network. “For every minute that blood flow is cut off, nearly two million brain cells will die.

There is no other organ in the body that’s as sensitive to lack of blood flow.”

Historically, the treatment for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) has been the drug, tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), which can dissolve clots. However, this isn’t always effective when treating larger clots. In some cases, another treatment is needed to help remove these clots.

According to a major landmark study, and supporting studies recently published in major medical publications, such as the New England Journal of Medicine, an interventional stroke procedure – stent thrombectomy using a retrievable stent – demonstrated a significant clinical benefit when added to pharmaceutical treatment (such as tPA) for AIS patients, compared to using pharmaceutical treatment alone.

“This is a transformative moment in how we treat stroke,” said Dr. Edgell. “Using a wire mesh cylinder that allows us to access the brain arteries and the blood

clot, we can retrieve the entire clot along with any surrounding fragments, restoring blood flow to brain much more quickly.”

The retrievable stent has been used at SLU Hospital for several years. This latest clinical research just confirms what neurospecialists like Dr. Edgell have known all along: the retrievable stent is a game-changer that’s impacting outcomes.

For patients who miss the threehour window for treatment with pharmaceutical treatment, such as tissue plasminogen activator, (tPA) or for those patients with large vessel

occlusion for which tPA has very limited efficacy, additional therapy such as stent thrombectomy with the retrievable stent may be the only treatment option.

“The key with any stroke treatment – stent and tPA – is for patients to recognize stroke symptoms. Most of the time, when we are not able to offer either treatment, it’s because patients waited too long to seek medical treatment,” said Dr. Edgell. “Hopefully, the advances we’re seeing in stroke treatment will also serve as a reminder to the public to be more aware and take action at the first sign of a stroke.” More information on stroke symptoms and treatment options is available at www. midamericastrokenetwork.com.

S

ummertime is right around the corner. One of the best ways for our children to celebrate the end of school is by heading outside.

Oftentimes we underestimate the value for children interacting with their peers and exploring their worlds in the absence of televisions, tablets, and smartphones.

Understandably, a major concern with allowing our children the latitude to do this is our desire to keep them safe.

Accidents are leading cause in pediatric injury and death. How do we keep our kids safe:

• Swimming pools: While childhood drowning has steadily decreased over the past couple decades, it remains the second-most common cause of accidental death in children.

Maintaining close adult supervision at all times while swimming is one of the best ways to ensure safety. Additionally, if you own a pool consider having a fence encircling the entire area.

• Trampolines: The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends against having a trampoline in your home. If you choose to own one, it’s important to have adult supervision at all times and to limit to one jumper at a time.

Most trampoline injuries occur when more than one individual is jumping simultaneously.

• Automobiles: The vast majority of accidents in this country involve a car, and children are not immune to these outcomes. One way to reduce injury is to ensure your child is in an appropriate car seat. Remember that children 2 years and younger should be rearfacing in a car safety seat, and should preferably be seated in the middle of the back seat. Additionally, children should remain in car safety seats well beyond those first couple years of life, usually until 8-12 years of age depending on their size. More information on Missouri state laws regarding car seat safety can be found at http://www.dmv. org/mo-missouri/safety-laws.php, and further recommendations from the AAP regarding car seats can be found at https://www.healthychildren.org/ English/safety-prevention/on-the-go/ Pages/Car-Safety-Seats-Information-

for-Families.aspx.

Another very important safety tip for the car is to remember your child or infant in the backseat. The thought of forgetting a sleeping or quiet child in an overheating car is a nightmare many of us have played out in our minds before, and it could happen to anyone. One way to avoid this is to leave something “necessary”, such as your phone or even a shoe, in the backseat. This will help jog our memory, and keep us from leaving our most prized possessions in a dangerous situation.

There are a lot of tips and tools available to parents. The information overload can be paralyzing. In spite of our fears it is important to let your children get outside and play. Let them learn from each other. Let them learn from their mistakes, and make amends. There is no replacement for the lessons learned amongst friends.

health & wellness

• Bicycles: When I was growing up it was the exception, and not the rule, for a child to be wearing a helmet. Thankfully, one of the great advancements in child safety is the cultural perception that everyone, child or adult, should be wearing a helmet while riding a bicycle. Since this cultural shift, bicycle head injuries have dropped, but sadly they remain the most common cause of sporting head injury.

Head injuries account for three quarters of all the bicycle-related deaths in this country. Simply wearing a properly fitted helmet can eliminate up to 85% of those head injuries.

As students wrap up the school year, and look towards summer, one event that thousands of teens will be excited to attend is the Steubenville Mid-America Youth Conferences.

Each year, the Office of Youth Ministry (OYM) hosts two youth conferences in conjunction with Franciscan University on the campus of Missouri State University in Springfield, MO. These conferences strive to bring teens closer to Christ through engaging music, dynamic speakers, small group sharing, the Mass, Confessions, and Eucharistic Adoration.

Before I started working for the OYM, I took teens from my parish to these conferences every year. As a youth minister, I was blessed to see God working in their hearts over the weekend in so many different ways. Every teenager is different,

but their need for Christ’s Love and Truth is the same. Everyone is seeking happiness and purpose in their life, and this weekend shows, and strengthens for the teens, that it is found through Jesus Christ.

The Steubenville conferences will be held on the second and third weekends of July. Currently we have over 3,600 people registered for July 10-12 and over 4,100 for July 17-19, with space still available for both weekends. The conference theme is “Limitless,” which is taken from John 10:10, “I came that you might have life and have it abundantly.”

The teens will hear from a number of nationally-known speakers like Brian Kissinger, Ennie Hickman, Matt Fradd, Fr. Leo Patalinghug, Leah Darrow, and much more! The music, lead by the Adam Bitter Band, is a key element of both weekends,

but the highlight of the weekend is always Jesus, in Eucharistic Adoration, and in the Mass! There is nothing more powerful than to be in an arena, full of teenagers in complete silence, and focused on Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.

This year, we are also launching our new website called SteubySTL365. com, in order to allow teens to live the conference all year round. Not only will teens benefit from this site, but parents can also experience parts of the conferences from home through pictures, videos, blogs, and live-streaming coverage!

KIDS safe this summer

technology

...online As the doors to the school close behind our kids for the summer, signaling the end to yet another school year that can’t possibly be over in the minds of parents, our minds shift to a new routine (or, a lack thereof ).

Why do kids love summer so much?

The swimming is great...and of course, summer sports, camps, time with friends, no school...

Wait, double take on the last one: no school = more idle time. While that’s exciting in the eyes of our children, we have to be mindful of what our kids are doing with that idle time…online.

If your child is like most, he or she will have the phone in front of his/her face about 90% of time -- no study to back this up, rather, observations in my own

household, where my kids are more easily identified by the tops of their heads than the color of their eyes. But, let’s take a look at some real statistics.

Fact: Younger kids are getting access online.

• 27% of children aged 5-15 use a mobile phone to access the internet.

• Only 7% of 5-15-year-olds do not use the internet at all.

• lmost one out of five 5-7-year-olds has uploaded photos to a website.

• 12-15s have an average of 272 “friends” on social networks, but have never met an average of 78 of them in person.

Fact: 65% of online sex offenders used the victim’s social networking site to gain home and school information

about the victim.

Fact: Teens are “tweeting” their way out of scholarships, jobs and colleges.

Your digital footprint has become your resume.

As parents, there are things we absolutely MUST do to keep our kids safe and productive online. I can’t emphasize this enough. This isn’t the playground of our generation, when information was spread by word-of-mouth, bullying happened in person, and parents got to know their kids’ friends before they spent too much time together. This is 2015, like it or not, and we are breaking new ground together as parents.

Here are 5 key tips to keep your children safe online this summer: 1. “Followers” and “retweets” don’t equal friends. There is no positive or productive reason for anyone your child doesn’t know or hasn’t met to “follow” him/her. Your kids need to hear this.

2. Social media is the new digital resume. It starts building with that first social media account. Teach them only to post and share content that is going show others how amazing they are. A bad digital footprint sticks with you, and will be discovered by prospective recruiters, employers, friends’ parents, competitive sports clubs, etc.

3. Kindness is cool. It’s never…ever…

4. Privacy is precious. Revealing personal information online is dangerous, and makes it easy for predators to find their victims.

Revealing too much information online encourages judgment that can lead to cyberbullying.

5. Be engaged. Introduce your kids to social media on YOUR terms. Kids who discover it on their own are likely to assume access means free reign, and they can become victims of their own innocence. Social media is ubiquitous, and it isn’t going away. Learning the appropriate behavior when engaging on social media is paramount. Like potty training, this is on you. If you are looking for a safe, private, group-networking web application to

introduce your children to social media, consider Frienedy. It’s free, COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act) compliant, and great for families, as well as for managing all of the groups in your life. You can set up an account at www.frienedy.com.

BONUS TIP: Nothing replaces human interaction. Remember this. You own the devices; therefore, you call the shots. Limit the amount of time spent online. Whaaaatttt???!!!! I know! That’s the reaction you are likely to receive from human children in this era. They may look at you as if you have four heads, but, rest assured, you do not. I said this was a bonus tip, and indeed, it is. One of the best apps available that is designed to help parents manage the time and access their children have online is called CoPilot Family, (www. copilotfamily.com) and it’s completely

free. One of the key features of this app is that you can turn your own phone into a sort of remote control for your child’s phone by setting times for when certain apps disappear on your child’s phone. I tried it on my 12-year-old… it works. She may have broken a sound barrier when flying down the stairs in a panic because apps had “disappeared” from her phone at 8 pm. Chalk one up for mom.

It’s true that summer is often more relaxing for kids than parents. However, if you follow these tips to keep your kids safe and positive online, you’ll be able to breathe a sigh of relief, as you celebrate their participation in healthy relationships, scholarships, sports teams, college, and ultimately, employment— all of which were not sacrificed to preventable mistakes online.

the “BUZZ” around the CYC

Buzz Swanston has been an Assistant Sports Director for CYC Sports for the past 5 years. He grew up playing CYC soccer and baseball, has coached many different teams and has assisted his wife, Genie, as the parish volleyball director. They have 4 grown children who all played a variety of CYC sports. He believes CYC sports offer children a great experience in a Catholic setting.

Having participated in CYC Sports for 33 seasons in his youth, Adam Pleimann (a sophomore at KenrickGlennon Seminary, and CYC Sports summer intern) took some time to reflect on his involvement with CYC sports and what it did for him…

I will be the first to say that I am not the most athletic person in the world.

I am slow, and not very agile. However, because of my sports experiences with CYC in my youth, I put down the video game controller, and became physically active. Not only did sports keep me active throughout grade school, it also provided me an opportunity to develop social and communication skills. When I had to work with my peers on the field, it taught me the value of teamwork and community. I took pride back then, and I forever will, whenever I strap on that dashing Queen of All Saints CYC uniform.

As a third grader, I may not have appreciated how much time and effort my parents gave to organizing my schedule so that I could make my (baseball, basketball, and soccer) practices and games. However, as I matured, the scheduling shifted from being on my parents to being more on me. CYC demanded me to become more efficient with managing my time. I also grew through my many experiences travelling across the Archdiocese of St. Louis.

Especially when it came to play-off time, my family had to travel to parishes and parts of the city/county I had never been to before. When the circumstances would arise, my dad would always explain which highways we took to get to the field, and what important things I should know about the area. Another thing that I am extremely thankful for, especially in studying for the priesthood, is that I was able to see a number of Catholic churches in St. Louis. I still feel shock and awe when I think of what the numerous beautiful churches we have in this city. I am thankful for the maturing in time management, and geographical experiences I received from my athletic travels.

When I had a soccer game, it was not just my soccer game; it was my whole family’s soccer game. I have a younger sister, and when I had a 7:00 p.m. soccer game at Grasso, she had to go, too. And because she was around the sports atmosphere and the CYC community, when she came of age, she was open and willing to give sports a try. Those games were a great time for my family to bond.

older kids, or had gone through a similar experience. Decisions like, which high school to go to, how to pass the driving test, how to get a job, and which colleges to visit, were all debated and discussed on the bleachers of the CYC athletic fields.

Although many of my peers continued CYC sports in high school, I took a break to focus on tennis at Oakville High School. But after I graduated, and moved on to the seminary, my involvement in CYC picked back up. The KenrickGlennon Seminary Lions have a CYC soccer team that I was involved with this past year. The soccer team at the seminary is extremely important to the community because it builds so much fraternity. We are so thankful that CYC provides us with a league to play in.

Because I made so many connections on the field, it allowed me, and even more so, my parents, to make valuable connections off the field. When discerning important decisions in life, they utilized the advice from other parents they met through CYC who had

HISTORY IS MADE

www.catholicfamilyonline.com

Hockey

The Cadets captured their tenth title in the last fifteen years, and the fourteenth overall, tying DeSmet for the most championships in hockey.

The Cadets paired off against SLUH, the last team to beat CBC in the Mid-States Conference, at the 2013 State Championship, but this time made sure early there would be no comeback that propelled the Jr. Billikens to the title two years earlier. Since that title loss, the Cadets Hockey team has gone an incredible 17-3-2, with their only two losses in a holiday tournament by Chicago teams. CBC appeared in the Mid-States’ title game for an impressive fifteen years in a row.

The SLUH Jr. Billikens Hockey team’s only losses of the year were the four matches against CBC.

D home living

iscover the home where the legendary hero, Daniel Boone, spent his final years. Although best known for settling Kentucky, Daniel Boone lived in Missouri longer than any single place during his lifetime. The Historic Daniel Boone Home & Heritage Center, owned and operated by Lindenwood University, and nestled in the rolling hills of Missouri wine country, is calling you to explore.

Daniel Boone spent the last years of his life in this beautiful stone home built and owned by his son, Nathan. Today the home overlooks a reconstructed village, comprised of over a dozen 19th century buildings that have been moved to the site. Buildings within the village include such treasures as the school house, carpenter’s shop, grist mill, and the Old Peace Chapel. Lindenwood University has preserved the Daniel Boone Home, an historic landmark, while expanding the village, and providing quality programming through which visitors of all ages are able to experience frontier life. Guided and self-guided tours of both the Daniel Boone Home and village are available daily.

Starting June 18, the Boone Home will offer a free pioneer skills demonstration or activity every Thursday at 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Pioneer demonstrations will vary weekly, and may include such activities as a black powder rifle demo, candle dipping, tomahawk throwing, or frontier games.

Activities are free with the purchase of any tour. Families visiting the Historic Daniel Boone Home & Heritage Center are invited to pack a picnic lunch to eat under the new pavilion before or after a tour. For more information, pricing, and group discounts, visit www.danielboonehome.com or call (636) 798-2005.

Baking with BROTHER DUNSTAN Brother Dunstan Holms is a solemnly-professed monk of the Benedictine Abbey of Saint Mary and Saint Louis in St. Louis, Missouri, and author of Br. Dunstan’s Cookbook. He is the chair of the Classical Languages Department at the Saint Louis Priory School, where he teaches Latin at the junior and high school levels. Brother Dunstan enjoys baking, and prepares special desserts for his brethren on their feast days.

Saint Etheldreda or “Audrey” (d. 679) was an Anglo-Saxon queen and nun. She was the foundress and first abbess of the great Benedictine abbey of Ely. After her death, Etheldreda’s body was found to be incorrupt, and her shrine became a popular place of pilgrimage in the Middle Ages.

The Venerable Saint Bede recorded the life of Saint Etheldreda in his Ecclesiastical History of the English People.

Saint Etheldreda’s gardens at the London palace of the bishops of Ely were believed to produce the finest strawberries in England. Shakespeare made reference to this in Richard III, when Gloucester says, “My Lord of Ely, when I was last in Holborn, I saw good strawberries in your garden there. I do beseech you, send for some of them.”

In honor of Saint Etheldreda, I would like to offer this simple and traditional English dessert made with strawberries, cream and meringues. Saint Etheldreda, pray for us.

eats

Eton Mess for Saint Etheldreda Day on June 23rd Ingredients:

Assembly:

1 cup heavy whipping cream

Gently fold the strawberries and the meringue pieces into the cream.

Arrange in a trifle bowl, or in individual serving bowls or glasses. Serve immediately. If you have extra strawberries, you may use these as a garnish.

1 tablespoon sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 pound strawberries and 2 tablespoons sugar 4 3-inch meringue nests, or 12 meringue buttons, coarsely crumbled

Cream: Whip cream, vanilla and one tablespoon sugar in mixing bowl until stiff peaks appear. This can be prepared several hours ahead.

Strawberries: Purée one third of the strawberries in a food processor, or carefully mash them with a fork.

Quarter the remaining strawberries, and mix them with the purée. Sprinkle two tablespoons sugar over the strawberries and mix well. This can be prepared an hour or 2 in advance.

It is finally summertime and vacation time, and if your family is like ours, camping is on the horizon. Just because you are roughing it in the wild does not mean that your taste buds have to suffer. In fact, there are plenty of easy recipes to fix on the fire that will make your family never want to go home.

How to make a foil packet: 1. Lay a large sheet of heavy-duty foil, or a double layer of regular foil, on a flat surface. (Use non-stick foil where noted.)

www.catholicfamilyonline.com

DADDY’S COOKBOOK

2. Put the ingredients in the center of the foil. Bring the short ends of the foil together and fold twice to seal; fold in the sides to seal, leaving room for steam. Grill as directed. (Each recipe serves 2 to 4.)

Meals by Foil

These delicious recipes will turn any campfire into a gourmet restaurant!

1. Jerk Chicken Wings: Toss 6 split chicken wings, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and 3 tablespoons jerk seasoning on a sheet of foil. Form a packet.

Grill over high heat, turning once, for 25 minutes. Top with cilantro and serve with lime wedges.

Grill over high heat, shaking, until the popping stops, about 8 minutes. Season with salt.

2. Garlic Shrimp: Mix 1/2 stick softened butter, 1 cup chopped parsley, 2 chopped garlic cloves, and salt and pepper. Toss with the juice of 1 lemon, 1 pound unpeeled large shrimp and a big pinch of red pepper flakes.

Divide between 2 foil packets.

Grill over high heat, 8 minutes.

3. Coconut Shrimp: Toss 1 pound peeled large shrimp, 2 each, chopped lemongrass stalks and scallions, 1/3 cup coconut milk and the juice of 1 lime. Divide between 2 foil packets. Grill over medium heat, 10 minutes. Top with chopped cilantro.

4. Lemon-Herb Chicken: Toss 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, 1/4 cup chopped mixed herbs and 3 tablespoons each, olive oil and lemon juice, in a bowl. Divide among 4 foil packets. Grill over medium-high heat, 12 minutes.

5. Meatballs: Mix 1 pound ground beef with 1 egg, 1/4 cup each, breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan, 1 minced garlic clove and 1/4 teaspoon each, salt and pepper, in a bowl. Roll into 1 1/2-inch balls. Arrange in a single layer on a sheet of foil; top with 1/2 cup tomato sauce, and form a packet. Grill over high heat, 20 minutes.

6. Popcorn: Combine 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and 1/4 cup popcorn kernels in a disposable pie pan. Seal the pan in foil, making a dome shape on top.

(Use 2 sheets of foil, if needed, to cover.)

Boil-In-Bag Omelet 1. Boil a large stock pot of water.

4.Seal (zip) the top (removing as much air as possible) and mix everything by squishing the bag.

8. Zucchini and Tomatoes: Toss 2 sliced zucchini, 2 diced tomatoes, 4 smashed garlic cloves, olive oil, basil, and salt and pepper on a sheet of foil.

Form a packet. Grill over high heat, 10 minutes. Top with grated Parmesan.

9. S’mores Popcorn: Make Popcorn (No. 6). Toss in a bowl with 2 tablespoons cocoa powder and 1/4 cup each confectioners’ sugar, crushed graham crackers and mini marshmallows.

10. Portobello Mushrooms: Toss 4 Portobello caps, 4 smashed garlic cloves, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, salt and chopped parsley to taste.

Divide among 4 foil packets. Grill over medium heat, turning once, 10 minutes.

Be sure to season to your liking (salt, pepper, oregano, chili flakes etc.) before sealing the baggie.

5. Place each baggie (zipper side up) into the boiling water, and keep an eye on them. Reposition the baggies if they sit too long

against the side of the pot. They usually cook in about 10 minutes to be done, but depending on how many you are cooking and the size of the pot, it may take a little longer or shorter. Just watch them is all you need to do.

page 60

2. Mix the eggs & the 1 teaspoon of water in a quart size Zip Lock heavy duty (freezer type) baggie and smoosh it quite a bit.

3. Add in the desired choice & amount of cheese, pre-cooked meat & veggies to the baggie.

The “Lollypop” JZ I

of Steaks

n our last column we explored how beef is graded, and what makes beef tender and flavorful—“aging.”

f e h C by

Cattle are large animals, and when butchered, they yield cuts of varying flavors and tenderness. When you look at the diagram of great steak cuts, Ribeyes, Strip Steaks, Tenderloins, and Flat Iron steaks are cut from Rib, Short Loin, Tenderloin, and Chuck.

So let’s talk about what we consider to be the ultimate steak.

This steak is cut from the rib loin—think big slice of prime rib!

This steak, aged 42 days, is called the Cowboy Ribeye. Once the steak is cut, 20 to 32 ounces of meat is stripped off the bone, and the bone becomes a handle. On a plate, this “lollypop” is a

eats

steak lover’s dream.

Cooking this piece of beef is a little different than cooking smaller and thinner steaks.

Fire up the grill—gas or charcoal—and get the fire in one section very hot.

Sear the Cowboy Ribeye over direct heat for 3-4 minutes per side. Now, here is the catch! With tongs, move the steak to indirect heat, cover, and finish for 7-9 minutes. You can turn the steaks, if you like. This will yield a steak that is between “Medium Rare” and “Medium.” Cowboy Ribeyes are known for their marbling, and it takes some extra time for the marbling to caramelize. (I don’t know about you, but I am hungry!)

Remove the steaks to a platter, and let them rest for 2-3 minutes. Serve on a hot plate and enjoy!

U around town

pon entering our Big Top, you find yourself transported to a new reality…a timeless setting based upon centuries of tradition and craft…a place where people of all ages and backgrounds unite around a single ring…eagerly anticipating the magic that is soon to unfold.

Seated with family and friends, you discover you are so close to the performance that the wind generated by the speed of the horses passes through your hair as they gallop by.

As you look up, you are awestruck by highwire artists building a pyramid while walking a slender strand two stories above the sawdust ring. The antics of dogs and clowns leave you gasping for breath from laughter, while alluring aerialists gracefully dance in the sky. Live, original music unites all of the acts together in harmony, with perfectly-timed cymbal crashes synchronized with the culmination of daring tricks.

Acrobats tumble, leap, bounce, and grin with boundless energy, spreading contagious enthusiasm and vitality.

We set all of this to a story…a tale…a narrative…artfully crafted to engage your senses, tickle your mind,

and delight your heart. In unison, everyone in the Big Top gasps with astonishment, laughs with delight, hides their eyes with anticipation, and sits in stunned silence, awestruck at the magnificent performances and possibilities of humanity. Your eyes will glow and shimmer with joy, and you will carry the warmth, connections and intensity of the experience as you go forth into the world…together.

This summer, in One Summer on Second Street, travel back with us to The Jazz Age–a time when American cities grew rapidly, becoming home to families from all walks of life and corners of the map. We’ll journey together to a typical block, in a typical city, on a typical day, and meet a very atypical set of families.

Find yourself enchanted by a small Ukrainian family who tame the cats that live in the alley. Feel the excitement as Russian carriage drivers ride wildly through the streets, and the Flying Wallendas maneuver their way along clotheslines strung between buildings. Experience the bliss of young lovers, determined to stand strong amid their families’

protests. These stories will come alive before your very eyes.

During this month-long production, we partner with more than 30 organizations to customize performances for special audiences, including: A Peanut-Free Preview for those with life-threatening allergies; a Sensory-Friendly Performance, in which the production is adjusted for those on the autism spectrum, as well as special opportunities for Scouting groups, artists, and more. Through Share the Circus, we provide greater than 3,000 tickets, free of charge, to under-served communities.

Our outreach efforts continue yearround through our Clowns on Call program, in which we engage with children and families at SSM Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center and Mercy Children’s Hospital.

We bring Pop-Up Performances to neighborhoods throughout the region. Children with learning challenges discover new skills and internal fortitude through the circus arts in Tumbling & Teamwork. The passion to connect human beings to one another lies at the very core of Circus Flora.

We bring joy, delight, and laughter to life through the magic of circus.

Enter our Big Top, and be amazed.

SAINTS OF JUNE June 2 | St. Elmo (303 AD)

St. Elmo was an Italian bishop martyred in 303 AD, and is the patron saint of sailors. “St. Elmo’s Fire” is an atmospheric phenomenon observed by sailors at sea during thunderstorms, whereby a bright blue glow -- caused by ionization of air molecules similar to neon light -shines from the tops of pointed ship masts.

June 8 | St. Melania (325-410 AD) St. Melania was a wealthy matron of the Roman Empire who left Rome to aid Christian monks in Egypt and Palestine. A pioneering woman pilgrim to the Holy Land, St. Melania co-founded a monastery on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem.

June 11 | St. Paula Frassinetti (1809-1882 AD) St. Paula Frassinetti founded the Sisters of Saint Dorothy and devoted her life to teaching poor children. St. Paula’s work began in Genoa, Italy, and now the Sisters of Saint Dorothy teach and serve in 19 countries on five continents – including North America (Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, Rhode Island, and Texas).

our faith

June 14 | St. Anthony of Padua

(1195-1231 AD)

St. Anthony of Padua was a well-educated, Franciscan friar and martyr, renowned for his teaching of the faith, sometimes before crowds of tens of thousands. St. Anthony was a contemporary of St. Francis of Assisi, and is recognized as a Doctor of the Church – from the Latin “docere,” meaning “to teach.” St. Anthony is the patron saint of lost and stolen items because, according to legend, his prayers moved a thief to return a stolen book of psalms that remain preserved to this day at the Franciscan friary in Bologna, Italy.

June 19 | St. Juliana Falconieri (909-988 AD) St. Juliana Falconieri was born into a noble family and dedicated her life to prayer and good works. Her uncle was one of the Seven Holy Founders of the Servite Order -- Servants of Mary -- and St. Juliana founded the Matellate, an order of Servite nuns. Today, the order is devoted to education and works of mercy, and has houses in Italy, France, Spain, England, Canada, and United States (Sioux City, Omaha, and Belleville, Illinois).

June 22 | St. Thomas More

(1478-1535 AD)

St. Thomas More was Lord Chancellor to Henry VIII of England, author of “Utopia,” and is the patron saint of lawyers. St. Thomas was martyred for opposing Henry VIII’s separation from the Catholic Church, and, as his last words, proclaimed: “I die the king’s good servant, but God’s first.”

June 24 | St. John the Baptist (1 BC - 31 AD) St. John the Baptist was related to Jesus, and preached the coming of the Kingdom of God and repentance and forgiveness of sins through baptism in the River Jordan. St. John told his followers that another will come after him who baptizes, not with water, but with the Holy Spirit.

June 29 | St. Paul (8 - 67 AD)

St. Paul spread the gospel and founded new Christian communities throughout much of the known world, including Asia Minor and Europe, during three missionary journeys over the course of 12 years, before being martyred in Rome. As a young man, St. Paul persecuted early Christians, but was converted to Christianity while on the road to Damascus, after reportedly seeing a blinding light from heaven, and hearing a voice say, “Why do you persecute Me?” Reference: CatholicOnline.com
