Green Team: Still looking for ideas for a Lenten promise? The Saint Ignatius Green Team has some environmentally conscious options that anyone can do. Go vegetarian. Or,  If you don’t actively recycle or compost at school and at home, take steps to consciously be aware of how you dispose of your waste. Or, skip buying or using any single use plastics, such as straws and plastic cutlery. These are a few simple things you could add to your Lenten promise this year, and if you wish to join Green Team, we meet every Monday immediately after school in the Campus Ministry to help the school recycle.

The ASTRA Aerospace Club is starting work on a research project in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) with a Case Western Reserve University professor. At our meeting this coming Thursday, our club will prepare for this opportunity, use flight and space simulators, and create model space colonies. ASTRA meets in Science Building room 101, Mr. DeCarlo's room. Contact junior Ferenc Somogyi or Mr. DeCarlo for details.

SCOPE: Penny Lane, the black lab therapy dog and her owner Ms. Filmer who visited the campus during Mental Health Awareness Week, will be visiting every Tuesday for the remainder of the semester.  They will be in the atrium and possibly walking around gathering spaces on campus from 11-12:30.  Please be sure to stop by and say hello, spend a moment or two petting the dog, and enjoy the benefits that can bring.

Civil Rights Stations of the Cross:  Jesus’ walk to Calvary is similar to the journey of Civil Rights in this country.  When we look at Christ in his suffering we talk of his courage, and so when we look at the activists of the past and present, we should give them the same respect. No one ever says “forget the passion of Christ.” Yet, many Americans tell us to forget America’s brutal past.  Please walk with us on the journey of Christ and the Civil Rights Movement as we remember our challenges as a community and a nation. We will pray the Civil Rights Stations of the Cross on Tuesday, March 10 in St. Mary of the Assumption Chapel at 3:00 p.m.  Please join us.
