The office has received inquiries from parishioners who were slated to have their yards clean.

Benefits of Joining Band
The 2018-2019 CCS band is starting to build! This week students at All Saints Academy in St. Joseph and at St. Francis Xavier got to try out all the different band instruments to see what they might want to play! This coming week, students at ASA in St. Cloud, St. Katharine Drexel, and St. Mary Help of Christians get their chance too!
Last week you saw some of the academic and cognitive benefits that participation in band can give, but did you know that there are a ton of social and life benefits as well? In our CCS schools in particular, band is a great way to make new friends, because we get to work as a team between different schools! Many students say they’ve made great new friends through band, and those friends bring a common experience and familiar support! This support and strong friend-group becomes all the more important as children grow up and make important life decisions. According to the Texas Commission on Drug and Alcohol Abuse, “students who participated in band or orchestra reported the lowest lifetime and current use of all substances (alcohol, tobacco, drug abuse).” Band students have also been shown to stay in school at a considerably higher rate than those who don’t participate in music. In one study, “students with no ensemble performance experience had a dropout rate of 7.4 percent. Students with one to two years of ensemble experience had a dropout rate of 1 percent, and those with three or more years of performance experience had a dropout rate of 0.0 percent.”
You don’t have to look far to see so many band students “find their place” in the band and make some wonderful friends, so if you’d like to learn more about how to sign your child up for band, please contact band director, Sean Jacobson, at sc.catholicbands@gmail.com.
