PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Dear Cardinal Newman Community,

Much of our work over the past year has been focused on the rebuilding of the Cardinal Newman campus following the fires of 2017. While this process can, at times seem slow, we are very excited to have launched our Capital Campaign into the public phase and have announced a $38,000,000 campaign for our community! This is an unprecedented campaign for Cardinal Newman High School and for Sonoma County! We have been honored to accept many generous gifts and commitments that have propelled our campaign timeline on a course that we never thought possible. We are truly blessed to have such a caring and dedicated community around us to support us through this difficult, but important endeavor.

This $38,000,000 campaign will provide our campus with a new Two-Story Classroom Building for our teachers and students, that will allow for collaborative teaching and innovative learning through the design

and architecture of this new building. We are so blessed to announce that this project is fully funded with ground breaking scheduled for Spring of 2020.

In addition to this classroom building, this campaign will focus on providing a new Student Union which will include a new library, new counseling offices, new indoor and outdoor eating facilities and additional learning areas. While we still have some very important work to do to continue to raise the necessary funds for the campaign, we are excited to announce a $1,000,000 anonymous matching gift that will match dollar for dollar up to $1,000,000 towards the completion of the new Student Union.

If you are interested in discussing how your family might help us reach these goals, please contact Terri Derr @ derr@cardinalnewman.org to arrange an appointment. Please review the articles in this edition of our Trinity Magazine for more details on our campaign, the timeline and our progress to date.

SERVICE FAIR

O

n Thursday, October 3, 2019, the Community Based Service Learning department hosted its annual Cardinal Newman Service Fair. The campus was buzzing with over 40 nonprofit organizations throughout the day that represented ways our students, faculty and staff would be able to volunteer. Volunteer opportunities include working with animal services, programs supporting children, senior citizens, the homeless, the hungry, the sick, the abused, the environment, just to name a few!

Cardinal Newman Service Fair 2019

During our Flex time, Freshmen and Sophomore students were given the opportunity to visit with all of the nonprofits in attendance. In addition, some of our seniors were able to host information tables highlighting ways in which underclassmen would be able to volunteer with their CBSL Service Projects. Information was shared with juniors in their Religion classes.

In the gym, each nonprofit organization hosted a table where they displayed literature, provided event schedules, brought engaging games, answered questions and shared ways in which students could get involved. As always, the most popular tables were those organizations that brought in dogs, birds, bunnies, and even a goat!

Following the Service Fair, all nonprofit representatives were able to visit with each other at a luncheon hosted by the CBSL department.

Local YMCA Representatives and CN students

The partnerships we have formed with our local community is a value to us. The representatives expressed how appreciative they are to have our students involved with their programs. We are truly blessed to have a wide variety of service opportunities for our students to participate in and learn from throughout each school year.

One of the most important areas of service our students commit to is with the poor and vulnerable. Our students are involved with organizations such as Catholic Charities Homeless programs, The Catholic Charities Shaw Center, serving those with Alzheimer’s and Dementia. In addition, students work with the Sam Jones Homeless Shelter, Redwood Gospel Mission, and many Senior Living Centers throughout Sonoma County.

Animal Services Representative and CN students

Let us continue to pray for hope in our world and for those who are in most need, the poor and vulnerable.

OUTSTANDING MUSICIANSHIP

C

ooper and Coleton Durkey, twins from the Class of 2020, were chosen out of all Sonoma County High School musicians for outstanding musicianship at the high school level.

On Tuesday, October 8th, they were invited on stage during a concert at Luther Burbank Center and they were presented with Fender Electric Guitars to celebrate the outstanding musicianship at the high school level. The guitars were presented by the biggest music store in North America, Guitar Center.

Cardinal Newman High School congratulates Cooper and Coleton Durkey on being recognized for their musical talents!

LINK CREW AND CLASS OF 2023

T

he Link Crew is a group of upperclassmen who are selected to be mentors and group leaders for the freshmen. St. John Henry Newman wrote, “God has created me to do Him some definite service…I am a link in a chain, a bond of connection between persons.”

The purpose of Link Crew is to establish strong links in the chain that is the Cardinal Newman community. The class of 2023 enjoyed a smooth transition into high school with the help of Link Crew. The upperclassmen used orientation, retreat, and tutorials to support freshmen socially, academically and spiritually.

SOPHOMORE RETREAT: “CALLED”

O

ur Sophomore Class Retreats took place on two Mondays (boys and girls respectively) in September at two locations. The boys’ retreat took place at St. Dorothy’s Rest in Camp Meeker. The girls’ retreat took place at The Bishop’s Ranch in Healdsburg.

Our usual sophomore retreat site, Camp Newman, suffered total destruction in the 2017 wildfires and we hope to return as soon as the rebuilding allows.

Both retreats, regardless of the location, centered on the theme of being “Called” – Called to Holiness, Called to Community and Called to Service.

The boys’ retreat included prayer with chaplain Fr. Moses, personal reflections by Mr. Vukicevich and Mrs. Rubattino and high-energy activities as well as small group discussions. Outdoor games and a scenic hike allowed the boys to enjoy the beautiful environment.

Each sophomore boy wrote notes of encouragement and assembled approximately 100 “blessing bags” filled

CARDINAL NEWMAN HIGH SCHOOL

with small toiletries, snacks and personal items that were distributed recently to those evacuated due to the Kincade fire.

The girls’ retreat included a thoughtful message from Mrs. Williams and Sr. Mary Victoria and lots of opportunities to bond through small group discussions led by CN female staff. The girls enjoyed playing a “capture the flag” variation and all the amenities of the Bishop’s Ranch. The girls’ retreat culminated in a service project presentation and making fleece tie blankets that were recently donated to people camping in their cars after being evacuated due to the Kincade fire.

We are grateful to the many faculty and staff members who accompanied the Class of 2023 on retreat. The students were truly able to take time to be in fellowship and community, relax, play and pray together.

HOMECOMING

H

omecoming is a time for alumni to return to their school and show their spirit, reconnect with old friends and teachers, and root their team to victory! In honor of this tradition, we examined the ladies in our senior class and determined who should represent our school at the game.

The homecoming queen nominees are those young women who embody the spirit of Cardinal Newman: school spirit, a fun-loving attitude, charisma, and service. The 2019 homecoming nominees were elected through anonymous voting conducted by each student at Cardinal Newman. Congratulations to Paige Foster, Claire Hernandez, Kara Lepe, Emma Nordby, Cassidy O’Connor, Madisen Williams, and Lauren Vice.

The princesses were accompanied by their fathers and mothers. They were chauffeured onto the field in decorated golf carts, during halftime of the varsity football game against Ukiah High School.

The student body voted online for the Queen after the Homecoming Rally. The young woman who was elected Homecoming Queen for 2019 is Lauren Vice.

Lauren is an accomplished student, varsity volleyball player, and sole editor of Newman News.

The ASB student leaders planned for months to put on a successful homecoming rally, game, and dance.

This year ASB created an “Under the Sea” float! It was Cardinal Newman’s first ever float! On Saturday, October 12, “Under the Sea” whisked our students

away to fun music featuring DJ Dax, a photobooth, treats, “Under the Sea” themed movies, treats, conversation tables, and games such as corn hole and spike ball.

Throughout the Fall, ASB was busy planning away.

They planned fun events for Halloween day such as Trick or Treating at every classroom along with a costume contest judged by teachers. Sixth Man shirts were created and event planning is underway for other upcoming holidays. We continuously plan themes for games and promote both on and off campus events.

In addition, four ASB students, along with Mrs. Eggleston, attended a leadership luncheon with Bishop Vasa.

Club Day was a success this year. We now have seventeen active clubs on campus. The clubs have a teacher moderator and a student leader to run the meetings on campus. We plan to have another club day during the spring semester for any new interest in clubs and to promote the current clubs on campus.

In addition, in the spring semester we will promote Arts Alive! which happens in May. ASB’s final big day will be an End of the Year Rally that happens in May – getting everyone excited for graduation and the end of another great school year. ASB will assist in promoting dances, games, rallies, and designing spirit memorabilia (Danger Zone and 6th man shirts) – helping to keep school spirit alive year-round!

FRESHMAN RETREAT: “JOURNEY” MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2019 The Freshman Class Retreat centers on the theme of pilgrimage. The students walked to nearby Cloverleaf Ranch for a day of community building. The aim of the retreat was to help the Class of 2023 understand that their high school experience, and life itself, is a pilgrimage, a journey on which they experience the presence of God and the support of family and friends.

The students gathered at the Cardinal Newman ACC with their pilgrimage group led by the same Link Crew leaders from freshmen orientation. The Link Crew, trained by Mrs. Alice Meyer, did an outstanding job of providing freshmen with quality group facilitation.

Senior Campus Ministry class students helped prepare the day’s activities and served as peer leaders during the retreat. Faculty members also joined the groups and spent time getting to know their students outside the classroom.

CARDINAL NEWMAN HIGH SCHOOL

Groups posed for photos as they began their trek through our neighbors, the Sieberts, vineyards. Soon the freshmen reached their destination of Cloverleaf Ranch, owned by UHS Class of 2000 alumna, Shawna DeGrange.

The freshmen spent the morning enjoying the outdoors as they played games, spent time in reflection and shared in small groups to get to know each other better. The students enjoyed a pizza lunch and free time. All in all, the freshmen began their high school journey with a fun day of bonding and shared experiences.

STUDENTS TRAVELED TO EUROPE SUMMER 2019

I

n June of 2019, Mr. McKevitt and Mrs. Binder travelled with a group of nine CN students to Europe visiting the cities of Madrid, Paris and Rome. They traveled with students from four other schools from across the US, making great friendships along the way. As well as visiting these terrific cites, they made day trips to Toledo in Spain, Versailles in France, and

Pompeii in Italy. They also stayed in Sorrento, Italy and visited the Mediterranean island of Capri. The trip was a fantastic experience where students got to experience so much of what Europe has to offer in a short period of time. Keep an eye out for upcoming CN trips to Costa Rica in 2020 and Australia, New Zealand and the Cook Islands in 2021.

JUNIOR RING CEREMONY

I

n October, families of juniors, along with the entire school community, gathered for the Junior Ring Ceremony prayer service and celebration. The theme was St. John Henry Newman’s motto “cor ad cor loquitur” or “Heart Speaks to Heart.” It was chosen to honor the newly-canonized saint. Juniors received class rings, if ordered, and each Junior also received a blessed rosary ring and prayer card. The prayer card had young St. John Henry Newman and his motto.

“Heart Speaks to Heart” reminds us that we are called to serve in an important way and to demonstrate this

attitude of the heart within all aspects of our lives.

Our sentiments and actions must reflect God’s love for us. Teacher and Ursuline Alum, Christina Messer, gave a heartfelt reflection and welcome about what Newman’s motto has meant to her. Teacher Matt Vukicevich was given a ring to recognize his 25 years of teaching at Cardinal Newman High School. Juniors, their teachers, and families enjoyed a reception following the ceremony.

OXFORD SCHOLARS

CAMPUS MINISTRY - FALL 2019

A

C

t the Oxford Scholars evening held on November 26, 2019, following a shared dinner prepared by Epicurean for the students and their families, there were presentations defending the thesis chosen by each student. The topic was the political issue each felt was key to the 2020 election and why it would play a role in the selection.

ampus Ministry seeks to encourage the spiritual growth and promote the faith formation of Cardinal Newman High School students. In keeping with our school’s mission, programs are designed to care for the whole person and to bring the message of Jesus in a spirit of love to our community. During the Fall semester, we hosted several Campus Ministry events on campus. In September, Campus Ministry students organized a group prayer to participate in the National Day of Student Prayer with “Prayer at the Pole”. The Spanish, Theology, and Campus Ministry classes hosted their annual “All Saints, All Souls, and el Día de los Muertos” exhibit at the end of October.

Many students made artwork to remember deceased loved ones. During the season of Advent, Campus Ministry and ASB hosted activities to reflect on and celebrate the themes of joyful anticipation, love, and hope on campus.

FATHER/SON EVENT

O

n a warm Sunday afternoon, September 15, 2019, Fr. Moses welcomed forty fathers and sons to campus for Mass and reflection on the important bond they share. After lunch served by Mrs. DeRutte and Parent Association President, Becky Scrivanich, the action moved into the gym for volleyball matches, overseen by Jerry Bonfigli of the CN Athletic Department. Round robin play produced the day’s champion, though most matches were closely contested, and no injuries were reported, always key to a successful day.

W

hile the Drama and Dance Departments prepared for their Fall 2019 performances, the Cardinal Newman School Band was busy with several performances. As you may know, the CN band is not a traditional band. It’s what is referred to as a “Modern Band”. The group rehearses, records and performs popular music that they select throughout the year. This year the band is excited to have a horn section of Tenor Sax, Alto Sax, Flute and Clarinet.

This has allowed the group to perform popular songs that have similar horn sections. Students performed selections by groups such as Earth Wind and Fire, the Commodores, Stevie Wonder, and Neil Diamond. In addition, the CN band arranged horn adaptations to many musical pieces.

In the Fall, the band performed for the school at a lunchtime concert on November 8, 2019. They also played in front of the entire school at the Fall Arts Rally. In addition, they played an unplugged concert at a local senior living center as part of their community service music outreach. This year the band includes…

Jenna Bertoli/vocals, keyboards, guitar Dakota Binder/clarinet, vocals Carlin Chavez/vocals, ukulele Riley Drake/drums, guitar, vocals Coleton Durkey/bass, guitar Cooper Durkey/guitar Blake Fair/guitar, drums Shane Fair/vocals, guitar Mariah Harris/vocals, bass, chill vibes Sophia Hill/vocals, guitar Nathan Phelps/tenor saxophone Elijah Popkin/keyboards Kaylin Smith/flute Raul Valdivia/alto saxophone Haozhe Wang/guitar, bass Looking ahead to the Spring, the group will perform another Arts Rally, a concert during the Arts Alive! week and more off-campus community outreach concerts.

WOMEN’S WATER POLO T

he 2019 Women’s Varsity Water Polo Team was a young team led by junior captain, Lauren Alvear.

The team entered the season with very little water polo experience and knowledge, but quickly grew into a very strong team with plenty of depth. The team made huge strides this year in league and in the eyes of the water polo community, finishing with a 5-7 record and sharing 4th place with Sonoma Valley. In tournament and nonconference play, the team went 8-3-1 and came in 5th place out of 16 at the Sierra Shootout. The team was led in goals by Jordyn Beach, led in assists and overall points by Gianna Ratto, and Julia Lubas anchored us in goal. Lauren Alvear and Sophia Green were named to First Team AllLeague VVAL, and Gianna Ratto was named to Second Team All-League VVAL.

CROSS COUNTRY C

ardinal Newman Cross Country showed great improvement throughout the season. From dedication and hard work, running hills, intervals, speed and long runs, the athletes became strong runners. The mens’ team consisted of 17 junior varsity and 6 varsity athletes. The 6 varsity boys took 3rd place at the NBL Finals and headed to NCS on Saturday, November 23, 2019. The womens’ team consisted of 3 athletes and they all ran for the JV team.

Both teams will compete well next year; there are many underclassmen and are only graduating 3 seniors.

CN expects this program to grow and become a true competitor for an NCS title next year and in years to come due to the Team’s overall dedication to the game. It was an unbelievable season!

MENS’ WATER POLO T

he Cardinal Newman Water Polo team finished the regular season with a record of 19-5, going undefeated in league play and winning the Vine Valley Athletic League. The team qualified with NCS as the number 1 overall seed for Division II. They beat Alhambra in the NCS semi-finals before

losing a tough match (10-11) to Northgate in the NCS Championship game. The team has 11 seniors, led by Bennett Stafford, Joao Mesquita, and Cole Peterson, and they are the defending NCS champions after winning last year.

SPORTS UPDATES

VARSITY VOLLEYBALL T

he Cardinal Newman Varsity Volleyball Team had a very successful season, one with many milestones.

The Cardinals began the season with high hopes, returning many players from last year’s squad.

The players gained in experience and skill, and the group, while large, came together to create a cohesive and competitive unit. As the season progressed, the team racked up non-conference wins and strong tournament finishes, positioning themselves for a successful league campaign.

When league arrived, the Cardinals were ready to compete at their best, and was reflected no better than in the matchup with league rival, Montgomery. Down zero games to two, the girls mounted a comeback, won games three and four, and then in thrilling fashion, took game five to win the match and stay undefeated in league play.

The team would finish with a 9-1 league record, winning the NBL Oak Championship outright.

As NCS playoffs arrived, the Cardinals were awarded with the #1 seed and defended it to the semi-finals where they lost a hard-fought match vs. a determined Head Royce squad. While the defeat was disappointing, the team qualified for the Nor-Cal Championships. Facing a tough Vacaville High School team, the girls battled until the end, losing in four games.

Overall, with the NBL Championship, along with an appearance in both the NCS and NorCal Championships, the Cardinals season was memorable, exciting, and one with many wonderful moments.

JV VOLLEYBALL T

his season was a wild ride for the Cardinal Newman JV volleyball team. Overall, the team finished with a 13-11 record, with a 6-4 record in the highly-competitive NBL-Oak Division. With only two players returning from last year’s squad and three new freshmen, there was a steep learning curve for everybody. This team responded the right way and maintained steady improvement throughout the season. The JV Cardinals rolled with a strong front row attack, and steady serve receive/defense, allowing the setters to run the desired offense.

The highlight of the year was when these Cardinals overcame a first set loss to Justin Siena (11-25) to storm past them in the second set 25-14, forcing a decisive third set.

This team always had a flair for the dramatic, and allowed Justin Siena to get up 14-8 in a set to 15. The Cardinals would end up erasing that deficit behind strong serving and an unrelenting will to win, before finally taking the set (1816) and match. This was an outstanding season filled with growth both on and off the court, and the future is bright for these young ladies.

VARSITY WOMEN’S GOLF

T

he Cardinal Newman Women’s Golf season was a huge success and a lot of fun. Participation jumped up this year with a large number of newcomers. We had a total of 14 golfers this year compared to just 5 in 2017. Even with so many new faces, team chemistry was great and the girls truly supported each other. While only 6 golfers play in a match, everyone had an opportunity to play against varsity teams in the NBL Redwood. Our “JV” even won their match against Healdsburg’s varsity.

The varsity squad went 8-0 in the NBL Redwood and 10-0 overall. Those golfers were Abby Leighton (’21), Gabby Sinatra (’23), Lillie Dayton (’23), Tori Leighton (’22), Sam Simpkins (’23), Lorena Polizziani (’20), and Abi Mello (’21). In the NBL tournament, the CN ladies went head to head with Ukiah (NBL Oak winners) at Rooster Run (par 71). The team came away with the victory, 467-640. Gabby shot an even 71 with a hole-in-one, Lillie and Tori 88, Sam 96 and Kate Hall (’22) 126. Golfer of the Year for NBL Redwood went

to Abby Leighton (36.7 scoring avg) for the second straight year. First-team All League honors were: Gabby (39.3), Lillie (45), Tori (46), and Sam (47).

Cardinal Newman went on to win the NCS DII title at Beau Pre in McKinleyville winning by 51 strokes.

Abby’s finish in 2nd with a 76, Gabby (84) and Lillie (88) qualified them for the NCS DI tournament at Lone Tree in Antioch. Abby went on to shoot 76 again and just missed moving to NorCal by one stroke. Gabby had a strong performance with an 86.

With so much young talent, it is hard not to be excited to see what they can accomplish next year. Thank you to John Gilson and Jessica Reese-Quayle for their help with the ladies this year. They played a huge part in the success of the season. Thank you to Fountaingrove Country Club for allowing us to use their facility as our home course. And a last special thank you to the seniors who will be missed: Lorena, Mackenzie Millard, and Carina Marotto.

CHEER C

ardinal Newman Cheer has provided not only an opportunity for athletes to show their spirit, athletic skills, and school leadership, but it directs and impacts a positive school culture that is shaped by its school community and the cheer world. Cardinal Newman Cheer recognizes that they are athletes bestowed with the honor and responsibility of creating a strong sense of school pride and elevating spirit within their school and community through five key roles – crowd leader, spirit raiser, ambassador, athlete and entertainer. As noted by Bill Seely, President of USA cheer Corporation, “[Cheerleading is] a unique activity that helps bring together school and community in a very unique way – around sports.”

Cardinal Newman cheer has pushed and worked hard in spreading the high school spirit program by connecting the crowd to the game, a community to a school, and the Newman spirit to groups beyond the Newman community.

Cardinal Newman cheer has, through much love, hard work, and commitment to the sport, instilled a positive and safe environment for athletes to develop their self-image and confidence in a performance and competitive environment. This year, the team has worked hard to reach personal goals of high academic achievement, increase technical abilities, learn effective time management, and to form strong relationships. This team has pushed to become a family comprised of talented individuals who have pride in school and community. We aim to bring this spirit of support and perseverance out into our community and daily lives.

This Summer, Cardinal Newman Cheer attended UCA camp at UC Davis. Summer Camp allowed athletes to push skills, learn routines, and build team bonds.

Cardinal Newman cheer not only learned material but also recognized the importance of safety and leadership. As a result of their commitment, the team earned and received NFHS Squad Credentialing. In addition, athletes Molly Fowler (senior) and Natalie Shockey (freshman) also earned All-American titles, which is an honor that goes to cheerleaders who have exemplified showmanship, poise, technique, strong motions, and crowd-leading skills. Molly Fowler, senior, was also invited to tryout for the UCA staff summer of 2020.

On September 18, 2019, President Trump named Robert C. O’Brien, CN Class of 1984, who has been his special envoy for hostage affairs, to be his new national security adviser.

“I am pleased to announce that I will name Robert C. O’Brien, currently serving as the very successful Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs at the State Department, as our new National Security Advisor. I have worked long & hard with Robert. He will do a great job!” Trump said.

Prior to his appointment, O’Brien had been perhaps best known for his efforts to win the release of American rapper A$AP Rocky, who was held in a Swedish jail after being arrested for his involvement in a Stockholm brawl. O’Brien also helped secure the release of an American citizen held in Yemen. Before that, O’Brien had worked in other State Department roles, including as a member of Bolton’s team during the administration of President George W. Bush.

ark Galvin flew over the Kincade Fire for many days as it burned in Sonoma County. His company out of Paso Robles was contacted by Cal Fire to assist, and Mark drove down from Reno as his company flew the helicopter up for him to fly.

He flew tirelessly for the duration of the Kincade Fire, as well as the 2017 Tubbs Fire. He has been a helicopter pilot for more than 10 years, flying in Arizona, Alaska, Nevada, Idaho, Utah, and California.

The last couple of years he has split time with his company doing heli-skiing in the winter and forestry/ fire/rescue work in the summer and fall.

FUN IN THE FALL CNHS has welcomed the chance to continue the tradition of the Ursuline Polenta Feed by blending it with the Cardinal Newman Fun In The Fall Wine Tasting event. Taking place on Saturday, October 19, 2019, more than 20 local wineries and breweries poured awardwinning wine and brew. There was even a guest appearance by Ginny Sweeney pouring her delicious signature “Ginny’s Gin”. Approximately 250 guests gathered in the ACC for wine tasting and mouth-watering appetizers prepared by many parent volunteers. After the wine tasting portion of the evening, guests moved into the CN Gym where they enjoyed a wonderful polenta and meatball dinner, and dessert prepared by Costeaux Bakery. DJ Dan provided music and the dance floor was active all night long!

In past years, graduating classes have chosen to hold their class reunions here!

Classmates receive special, reserved seating, and they are able to enjoy the night mingling with friends of yesteryear without the need for planning their own reunion event. This is a great idea for those who’d like to host their reunion at next year’s Fun in the Fall event!

Thank you to this year’s wineries and breweries for participating in this FUN event, and to Mickey Head and Eagle Distributing for hosting our bar!

Don’t miss out on next year’s event!

COUNSELING IS HERE TO LEND SUPPORT

COLLEGE COUNSELING OFFICE HAS A NEW HOME

This year, the goal of the Counseling Department is to provide preventative mental health support to the students of Cardinal Newman High School.

As a community, we have experienced a variety of changes and stressors over the past few years and we recognize that the impact of these experiences can be felt over an extended period of time. We, in the counseling department, feel that the best way to help students navigate these changes is by creating a culture of self-care and proactive support. In order to do this, counseling services have increased with the addition of Laura Jorgensen, our senior class counselor. The counseling department is now fullystaffed with a qualified P.P.S. professional school counselor at each grade level. Also, each counselor received PLUS (Peers Leaders Uniting Students) Program training at the start of this school year, focusing on assessing the needs of the student body throughout the year and addressing those needs with student input.

CN Counseling now offers Guided Wellness on a weekly basis and continues to offer classroom guidance on topics such as stress management, suicide prevention, and mental health first aid. Lastly, we began the year with a school-wide assembly featuring Kyler Erickson, who spoke to students about his experience with PTSD and the importance of asking for help when needed. In the spirit of his message, we want to continue to encourage students to visit the counseling office whenever they need assistance and know that there is always support available.

The College Counseling Office has a new home in Room 203. With two offices and a conference room, we are happy to be able to offer more comprehensive services to our students and families. It has been wonderful to host over 60 college representatives in the conference room this fall, which has a large screen for computers to connect and pictures and PowerPoints displayed. The college reps enjoy coming to our campus and meeting and speaking with our students about their next step. Juniors and Seniors are welcome to attend these informative meetings. Seniors have been busy completing college applications as due dates loom. National Testing Day will took place on October 16, 2019, when students in grades 9-11 took the PSAT test and the Seniors were able to attend a college application and essay workshop in the ACC for three hours. We continue to host essay and application workshops for the Seniors during FLEX and will begin to meet with Juniors and their families as the results of the PSAT are received.

NOTABLE ENDEAVORS

T

he professional community of Cardinal Newman continually enriches their contribution to the school through a range of workshops, conferences, travel and self-study.

Marty Argenti enrolled in the Pacific AP Institute in Monterey for an AP Biology seminar. He said, “It was an awesome opportunity to get together with other AP teachers and share ideas. We learned a whole new framework for the course, and I picked up a lot of tips and techniques for how to create engaging lessons!”

Matt Vukicevich attended a Climate Change and Sustainability workshop/seminar at Connecticut College in October. He met author David Wallace-Well who wrote The Uninhabitable Earth, a book he is reading in order to develop his teaching of climate change in his Environmental Science class. Matt commented, “I have not slept well since I started reading, but it has given me some great ideas about teaching this difficult subject to students.”

In preparation for this school year, Eduardo Wolbert participated in a week-long seminar offered by the College Board which focused on teaching AP Capstone Research. Having completed this second year of the training program, Mr. Wolbert is now certified to teach both AP Seminar and AP Research courses. Additionally, he attended an immersion program to develop his skills as a teacher of Spanish.

As part of last summer’s European trip for Cardinal Newman students, Elsa Binder took advantage of an opportunity to earn forty-five hours of professional development supported by a university. To earn the units, Ms. Binder wrote observations and a summary that evolved into a paper in which she crafted a synthesis unit. Her experiences inspired her to devise lesson plans to enhance her Geography curriculum.

Lori Olson attended a career trends conference hosted

by SRJC. She and Tracy Williams also attended a School Climate Conference where they learned about schoolwide climate programs. Ms. Olson reported, “We listened to a talk by motivational speaker, Kyler Erickson, and decided he would be a good fit to talk to CN students about asking for help when they need it given the impact fires have had on our community.” In addition, Ms. Olson presented with the Sonoma County Office of Education at the Orange County Office of Education’s Disaster Relief Conference and shared knowledge about our school’s experience recovering from the fire.

Father Moses Brown returned to Washington DC over the summer to study canon law which is the Church’s centuries-old legal tradition. He explained, “It is a series of short rules (or canons) that guide how members of the Church interact with each other.” The study of law helps to clarify how sacraments, property, and buildings are understood within the Church’s overall mission to save souls. Fr. Moses said, “I enjoy studying canon law and find it interesting to see how our spiritual life intersects with our physical life in the world.” Having passed his comprehensive exams this summer, Fr. Moses is in the process of finishing his thesis.

Gabrielle Thompson completed the second year of a Master’s in Dance Education Program. She said, “It was refreshing to be a student again by starting the day with ballet, jazz, modern, and hip-hop classes taught by amazing master teachers from all over the world.

I learned more about creating music by using new technology in a sound design class.” Mrs. Thompson plans to use the information she gained learning about the extensive history of dance in all genres of movement and applying it to her final thesis paper.

Two departments were able to travel to conferences.

Maryanne Berry was awarded the opportunity to participate in a writer’s residency through a program called “Hypatia in the Woods”. She spent two weeks alone in a cabin on the Olympic Peninsula working on a writing project. “Having spent many years teaching literature,” said Ms. Berry, “I really enjoyed the chance to develop my own writing.” Ms. Berry will be teaching Creative Writing in the spring. Additionally, she wrote a proposal to lead a workshop on our CBSL use of TED Talks as a way to enhance insight and share inspiration.

The English department travelled to Portland to participate in the Association of Writers and Writing Programs. The conference included the participation of 12,000 writers and teachers and offered over seventy workshops and readings. Elizabeth Stimmel found the experience enriching. She said, “It’s so valuable for members of our department to spend time together reflecting on our practice and discussing ideas inspired by the workshops to envision new curricula.”

The Counseling Department attended a PLUS training to investigate how to use student-reported data to inform school climate decisions. According to Mrs. Williams, “PLUS stands for Peer Leaders Uniting Students and uses meaningful participation of students to work on inclusion and belonging within the community to create a safe school climate.”

Kellie Riccio contributed an article to the November issue of “Chemistry Solutions!” an online journal published by the American Association of Chemistry Teachers. Mrs. Riccio’s article tells her unique story as a second-career teacher and her path to the high school chemistry classroom. She writes about her first year in the classroom, one that tested the perseverance of the Newman community when our school was severely damaged by the Tubbs wildfire.

JOHN HENRY NEWMAN IS MADE A SAINT!

P

ope Francis on Sunday canonized Cardinal John Henry Newman, praising the 19th-century Anglican convert who became an influential, unifying figure in both the Anglican and Catholic churches.

Francis quoted from one of Newman’s most famous hymns, “Lead, Kindly Lights,” as he presided over Mass on Sunday, October 13th, before an estimated 50,000 people in a sun-drenched St. Peter’s Square to declare Newman a saint.

Newman, a theologian and poet, is admired by Catholics and Anglicans alike because he followed his conscience at great personal cost. When he defected from the Church of England to the Catholic Church in 1845, he lost friends, work and even family ties, believing the truth he was searching for could only be found in the Catholic faith.

In his homily, Francis recalled that the Christian “journey of faith” sometimes is an uphill, uncomfortable battle such as the one Newman experienced. “Faith calls for journey, a ‘going out’ from ourselves, and it can work wonders if we abandon our comforting certainties, if we leave our safe harbors and our cozy nests,” he said.

“Faith increases by giving and grows by taking risks.”

Newman was one of the founders of the so-called Oxford Movement of the 1830s, which sought to revive certain Roman Catholic doctrines in the Church of England by looking back to the traditions of the earliest Christian church. Cardinal Newman High School has named its Oxford Scholars Program after this movement.

As a Catholic, Newman became one of the most influential theologians of the era, bringing elements of the Anglican church into his new faith tradition. On the eve of his canonization, one of the Vatican’s most senior English-speaking officials, Canadian Cardinal Marc Ouellet, declared that Newman should be made a doctor of the Church to honor the tremendous influence his writings had on the development of Christian doctrine. Ouellet choked up as he delivered a speech on Newman and his role in bridging the theological gaps between the Anglican and Catholic traditions.

To celebrate this monumental event, Bishop Robert Vasa presided over a schoolwide Mass on Tuesday, October 8, 2019, as well as granted a holiday on Wednesday, October 9, 2019, in honor of CN’s namesake, Saint John Henry Newman.
