Dear Friends:

I am drinking coffee and gettting ready for next fall.

Just finished Crossin's 10 points for new students.
This includes reference to the
Consortium New Student Orientation
at Caldwell Hall of Catholic University
on Thursday, September 7.

This is one of the most popular Consortium events.
It includes prayer and dinner at the 12 local Catholic religious communities.
During my 8 years as Consortium Director, many students have said that this
was the most memorable ecumenical event of their 3 or 4 years of study.

Meeting the people seems to be the key element
And sharing stories of the call to ministry.
And noting the similarities in the way God works
across our divides.

Hope you are having a great summer.

Peace,
John
