This fall, 8 th grade students seeking admission to an Archdiocesan Catholic high school will take a new testing vehicle under the Cooperative Admissions Examination Program (COOP) to assist school staff in evaluating candidates. The new version is a comprehensive high school admissions guide that has been used extensively throughout the nation for over 50 years. The test, which is updated each year, provides each school with score reports highlighting details of performance of individual students. ! The !COOP exam measures scholastic aptitude in verbal and non verbal abilities and achievement in reading, language arts and mathematics. However, it is only one criterion for admission to participating Catholic high schools. ! When used in conjunction with effort and performance ratings from the 6 th , 7 th and 8 th grades, as well as previous standardized test results, secondary schools are able to gauge the readiness of applicants seeking admission to college preparatory educational programs. Most high schools also consider other factors such as attendance and disciplinary records when making admissions decisions, and some may choose to consider essays and interviews as part of their admissions process. ! Each year, some 5,000 eighth grade students seeking to enter a Catholic high school in the Archdiocese of Newark and Diocese of Paterson take the COOP exam. Specific information about the dates and procedures for registering for the 2017 COOP exam will be available on the COOP website M http://njcoopexam.org. ! SAINTS ALIVE ! St. was deeply influenced by St. Francis and she refused to marry, as her parents wished. She fled to the Porziuncola Chapel below Assisi and on March 18, 1212, Francis received her vows, and thus began the Second Order of St. Francis. Many joined her, including her mother and sister and soon the Poor Clares were housed in the church and convent of San Damiano near Assisi. Clare became abbess there in 1216. ! Her great concern was to obtain a rule reflecting the spirit of Francis to replace the Benedictine rule that had been imposed on her order. Two days before she died, Pope Innocent IV approved her definitive rule. Besides its “privilege of perfect poverty,” forbidding the ownership of property even by the community, Clare’s order is noted for its apostolic aim; she considered its penitential prayer life a spiritually vitalizing force for church and society. This view was shared by the and the grateful citizens of Assisi, who credited Clare with twice saving their city from destruction. She was credited with other miracles in life and after death. She was declared patroness of television because she miraculously heard and saw midnight Mass from her bed on the far side of the city. ! BǂǚǐǏǏdž, NJ ! THE WEEK AT A GLANCE ! Sun., August 6 !
