“So submit yourselves to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you of two minds. Begin to lament, to mourn, to weep. Let your laughter be turned into mourning and your joy into dejection. Humble yourselves before the Lord and he will exalt you.” -James 4: 7-10
 
Dear CHHS Families,
We are now in the liturgical season of Lent.  We encourage all of our students and their families to attend church each Sunday.  Lent is a time of fasting, prayer, and almsgiving.
 
Best of Luck to our Varsity Basketball Cardinals who will face Archbishop Stepinac today at 3:00 PM in the CHSAA Intersectional Finals at Fordham University. Let’s root for the Cardinal and Gold!
