ANNOUNCEMENTS Hang up your clothes! Thanks to Barbara Miller and others for organizing the surplices, cassocks and albs on hangers that do not slip – so NOW if we find liturgical clothing on the floor it will not be because it “slipped off the hanger” – put items back on the correct hangers and hang up in the right closets – and your sacristans will be happy (and we will not have to email your mom)!

Welcome to new students and staff, and welcome back to all those returning! Orientation week materials Copies of the Fall 2012 customary, the Experimental/Alternative liturgy booklets, a guide to reading the Rota, and several other handouts are available on the counter outside the sacristy in Gibbs. Please help yourself if you want any of the copies – there are lots of extras.

The Community Council provides a structure for the CDSP community to voice and share the issues and concerns of others. All members of the CDSP community are members of the Council, including students, spouses/partners, faculty, staff, and the President and Dean. The CDSP community ratified the Constitution and By-Laws of the Community Council in 1984. They were amended in 1998 and revised in 2005.

CDSP is a community of scholars, students and staff that embraces and is embraced by larger communities, all of which provide support and inspiration. In addition to academic resources, other community resources are available.
