College Bound?

Studies show that only 15% of college freshmen find or connect with a Catholic Campus ministry or nearby parish during their hectic adjustment to college life! College Connection for Catholics, administered by the Serra Club, provides a jump start with college Mass participation and increases the chances that the first organization our freshmen join is a Catholic one! Simply
provide the Serra Club with the student’s contact information and the college they will attend, and we do the rest! A nationwide database of Catholic campus ministries or nearby parishes allows the Serra Club to communicate this information to the respective campus ministry or parish so that the student will be invited to participate immediately upon arriving!

Note: Area Catholic HS students are already enrolled, so only public HS students need enroll now!

Reply to Ted Rosentreter at trosentreter@gmail.com. Supply
student’s name, home address, phone, college and location. This information is only shared with Catholic campus ministry/nearby parish.

MOTHERS AND SONS

As boys move into puberty, they change quickly and profoundly due to flooding of hormones. These change forever how he feels about himself and his relationships with others. Mothers who are dependent on their boys for affection, support or love, believe they are exempt from the changes taking place in their sons. They are not. The love, companionship and closeness that formerly comforted both of them is now very different (and normal). He now sees his mom as trying to control him and as being prying and invasive. What brings him peace is not her love, but distance from her. He will obtain that distance any way he can. That includes verbalizing the desire to go live with a long despised and distant father, failing in school, outbursts of rage, drug use, and so on.

If mom keeps her priorities healthy: (1. God, 2. Self, 3. Spouse and 4. Children), her son sees a healthy role model for future relationships with women. He sees that mom has found an appropriate object for her love away from him and he is encouraged to begin the other mind boggling event known as dating. If mom’s marriage to dad is healthy, it will allow her more gratification while at the same time lifting the burden of guilt from her son who worries that mom cannot survive without him.
