We want them to grow and mature as good people, good friends and good Catholic men. Recently, several of our Seniors traveled Pope Benedict XVI was devoted to Pope Emeritus: 2005 to 2013. to Palomar Christian Conference Center for Saint Augustine.

While on retreat the students demonstrated their incred- e turn now to Pope Benedict XVI who, like Pope Paul VI, had a great devotion to St. ible depth of friendship with one another. WAugustine. The following is an excerpt from Pope Benedict’s talk on Augustine and Monica, given on August 25, 2010. “In each of our lives there are persons who are very dear to us, to whom we feel par- ticularly close. Some are already in the embrace of God; others continue to share the jour- ney of life with us: they are our parents, relatives, teachers, people for whom we have done some good, or who have done good to us; persons upon whom we know we can depend. It is important, though, to also have “companions for the journey” in the course of our Christian life. I am thinking of a Spiritual Director, a confessor, people with whom it is pos- sible to share one’s faith experience. But I am thinking also of the Virgin Mary and the saints. Everyone should have some saint as a friend, someone to feel near to through prayer and intercession, but also to imi- tate. I would like to invite you, therefore, to get to know the saints more intimately, begin- ning with the one whose name you bear, reading his or her life story and writings. Be assured that they will become good guides in loving the Lord more, and valid sup- port for your human and Christian growth. “As you know, I too am bound in a spe- KAIROS ATTENDEES–Here are a few of the cial way to several saints: among them, in seniors, who recently attended the school’s addition to Saint Joseph and San Benedict Kairos program.

We have come a long way since Pope Benedict XVI brought us here on January 1, 2012. And we have much to do as we live into the holy calling of “Anglicanorum Coetibus.” (Pictured: The Holy Father greets Fr. Charles Hough IV, his wife Lindsay and Fr.

Church growth experts have noted the importance of the personal invitation from family or friends for bringing prospective members to the door. This is especially true for us, because the Ordinariate is not that well known.

We are especially grateful for Cathedral’s Leadership Team’s clear mission-centered focus on innovations and academics to support student achievement of the ESLRs. 1 In particular we would like to thank: • Bishop Cirilo Flores, the Diocese of San Diego, and Mr. Tom Beecher, Director of the Office for Schools for their vision and support for quality Catholic education to the young men and women of the greater San Diego area. • The President, Stevan Laaperi, Monsignor Lawrence M. Purcell, Chairman of the Advisory Board of Directors, and the CSE Board of Trustees who have worked so effectively in the ongoing transformation of University of San Diego High School beginning in 2005 to the larger Cathedral Catholic High School. • The administration, especially Mike Deely, Principal, and his staff, who along with the Leadership Team, made this Focus on Learning process a smooth and effective vehicle of growth for the Cathedral Catholic High School community.
