Shrine Catholic Schools Athletic Department Student-Athlete/Parent Handbook 2018-19 Shrine Catholic Schools Athletic Department Student-Athlete/Parent Handbook 2018-19 1 Revised 7/12/2018 Faith • Family • Future Dear Parents, Students, and Coaches, Welcome to Shrine Catholic High School! In choosing to attend Shrine Catholic High School, you have elected a Christ-centered Catholic education and academic excellence. Many wonderful opportunities await you. One of those opportunities is the availability of interscholastic athletics. As a Catholic school community, we all must consider the appropriate role of athletics here at Shrine. It is our belief that athletics at Shrine is an integral part of our overall ministry to students. Consequently, athletics is viewed as a program that plays its part in the development of the whole child at Shrine. By keeping in mind that athletics is indeed a form of youth ministry, we hope to foster a spirit of hard work, fair play, sportsmanship, teamwork, and camaraderie in all of our Shrine athletes, coaches, and parents. While we encourage all of our students to join and participate in athletics, we also encourage our student athletes to participate in the many other opportunities that Shrine has to offer, like the fall play, spring musical, before school choirs, pep band. Shrine is a place where students can contribute to a wide number of groups. This handbook outlines the philosophy and reflects the policies of the Shrine Catholic High School Athletic Program. Just as those who create a document such as this are a work in progress, so is this Athletic Handbook. If you have questions or comments, please contact us Sincerely, Ben Kerfoot, Shrine Catholic High School Athletic Director [email protected] 2 Revised 7/12/2018 Athletic Advisory Council 2018-19 Ben Kerfoot, Chair and Athletic Director James R.

Their work-ethic, and school pride has been a textbook example of what it means to be s Shrine Knight. Academic and Conduct Eligibility Academic Eligibility and Violations • Shrine Catholic High School holds its student-athletes to a high academic standard. The minimum academic standards for co-curricular participation are: o If an athlete is below a 2.0 at the end of each quarter they are put on academic probation. Students must comply by turning in grey eligibility sheets. o The Administration and Athletic Department, in cooperation with the teachers, will monitor eligibility and notify coaches § Academic standing will be monitored throughout the school year and eligibility for participation may be determined throughout each marking period. § The above departments reserve the right to remove or reinstate any student-athlete at any time of the marking period. 4 Revised 7/12/2018 § Ineligible student-athletes will not be allowed to practice or participate in any contest until reinstated. § Students who are enrolled in some form of formal Learning Disability classes will be deemed eligible at the discretion of the teachers and principal. § The principal may grant a waiver as necessary for any student. Conduct Violations The expectation of School Administration, Teachers, Coaches, and Club Moderators follows: • Conduct violations of school rules may result in the athlete being ineligible until the disciplinary action is complete. • Athletes may only be reinstated after approval from school administration. The coach may never reinstate an athlete for violation of school rules. • An athlete will not be allowed to practice or compete, while serving an in-school suspension. Discipline • Coaches are responsible for enforcing school and team rules. • Athletes will not be allowed to dress for home games or board the bus for away games if they do not adhere to school and team policies. • Reasons for team discipline could be, but are not limited to the following: o Poor sportsmanship o Poor attitude o Missing practice, games, or meets o Fighting or encouraging a fight o Improper language o Not respecting authority Poor sportsmanship is a direct reflection on the athlete and his or her family, Shrine Catholic High School, our coaches, the administration, the entire student body, and Shrine Parish. Sportsmanship is why we play the games. It is the responsibility of the coach to submit a written report on any incidents that occur during a contest in which a player is removed from competition. This report is to be submitted the next day to the Athletic Director, the Catholic High School League, and the Michigan High School Athletic Association. Athletes removed from competition for poor conduct are subject to discipline set forth by all three entities. 5 Revised 7/12/2018 School Attendance • The first three tardies are considered “free.” There is no consequence for these tardies to account for unforeseen circumstances such as weather, car trouble etc. • 4th Tardy – Student receives a detention.

Thoughts from Monsignor McClory Dear Parish Family: The Good Samaritan and Unleash the Gospel This weekend we hear the story of compassion and charity in the story of the Good Samaritan. As we reflect on that outpouring of mercy, we can draw inspiration in all of our charitable efforts from this passage in Archbishop Allen Vigneron’s pastoral letter Unleash the Gospel: Evangelical Charity: Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5:16 Our service to the poor and marginalized needs to be a clear witness to Jesus our Lord, not mistaken for humanist philanthropy. Catholics around the world and in our local Church have developed a remarkable network of charitable programs for health care, disaster relief, hunger alleviation, poverty reduction, refugee aid, family services, counseling, and help for people in every form of need. We must continue and intensify these works of service that manifest God’s love to those around us. … We need to ensure that in ministering to the material needs of others we are also responding to their spiritual thirst for God. Every Catholic charitable work must also be an authentic expression of Catholic faith. We must be unabashed to speak Read More from the name of Jesus and to invite every person to the fullness of life in him.

  • Shrine Herald NATIONAL SHRINE of the LITTLE FLOWER BASILICA ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH
    May 26, 2019 | Sixth Sunday of Easter Shrine Herald NATIONAL SHRINE OF THE LITTLE FLOWER BASILICA ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH We Will Be A Band Of Joyful Missionary Disciples. Thoughts from Monsignor McClory Dear Parish Family: What do we mean by the “Sacrifice” of the Mass? This weekend we will continue with week three of our homily series: “The Gift of the Mass.” We also refer to the “Sacrifice of the Mass,” especially in reference to the Liturgy of the Eucharist. This means that we are experiencing the one sacrifice of Jesus offered for the entire universe—for the forgiveness of sins. We don’t believe that in the Mass we are constantly “re-sacrificing” Jesus, but rather that the one eternal sacrifice of Jesus is made present here and now at the altar. To understand more fully the liturgy of the Eucharist, it’s helpful to understand the sacrificial system of the Old Testament. In gratitude to God, the people would offer to Him something of value. They would give Him their very best—the “first fruits”, not the “last fruits”— of the harvest. It was a way of expressing gratitude and offering something back to God. In the Book of Genesis, we are told of the high priest (and king) Melchizedek who brings the bread and wine. We see this action in the book of Genesis as a prefiguration of the Last Supper and Melchizedek is a Christ figure. Other forms of sacrifice emerged to atone for sin. We know that God commanded his people at Passover to offer a sacrifice before their Exodus from the slavery to Pharaoh.

  • St. John the Baptist Parish History. Diamond Jubilee 1926-2001 St
    St. John the Baptist Parish History. Diamond Jubilee 1926-2001 St. John the Baptist R. C. Church, Dearborn, MI, p. 25-29. CAP at Orchard Lake. In 1926, the southwest part of Dearborn Township consisted mostly of farms and unpaved roads. The nearest parish was Sacred Heart on Michigan Avenue. A few men of Polish descent got together to discuss the possibility of having a church built in their own community in which the liturgy would be celebrated in Polish. Permission was received in 1926 and so the task of building his new church to be called St. John the Baptist fell to Joseph and Albin Bartos, Mr. Gierlazyn, John Lukasiewicz., F. Pietrowski, Thomas Niemczewski, Frank Niemiec and Paul Waske. Gradually over time, a convent, rectory and school were built as the congregation grew. These dedicated men and women worked very hard during an economically difficult time in our coun- try to have their own place of worship and a school in which their children would be educated. The Sister of St. Joseph, Third Order of St. Francis joined the staff in 1931 and taught 90 students. Various organizations were formed such as the Rosary Society, Altar Society, Holy Name and the Young Ladies Sodality. The Rosary and Altar societies merged in 1958. In later years other groups developed such as the Parish Council, Booster Club, Club 12, Tatry Dancers, St. Vincent de Paul Society, Scouts, Legion of Mary, Choir and the St. John's Travelers as the most recent. In 1995, the school closed due to declining enrollment. The Sisters who taught our children for so many years found jobs in other schools but are still with us working quietly around the church and attend Mass every weekend.
