Greetings all!
Welcome back to campus. You are likely preparing for students to return or you are already knee deep in student activities. We’re praying for you and your students that this will be a spirit-filled and active school year!

ACCU Encourages Attendance at The Idea of a University
The Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities would like you to consider attending The Idea of a University-Revisited, a conference being arranged by Liverpool Hope University in association with The International Federation of Catholic Universities, taking place September 16-19, 2010, at Liverpool Hope University, England. The conference is aimed at a wide audience, including university staff with an academic interest in this area, as well as faculty, theologians, and those who think more generally about values in education and public life. The conference also includes the option to attend the beatification. For more information on the schedule and registration, visit their webpage here: www.hope.ac.uk/newmanconference.

What are your plans to celebrate Cardinal Newman’s beatification????
September 19, 2010,
 marks the beatification of John Henry Cardinal Newman. The writings and works of Cardinal Newman have made a huge impact on all of us in campus ministry. His life was facinating and he was one of the great intellectual pastoral leaders of the 19th century.
     How will you celebrate the occasion? Will you share the history and writings with your students? Declare September 19 “Newman Day” at your ministry site? Hold Mass and dinner? Maybe make the pilgrimage to England for the beatification ceremony?
     Please share your ideas and plans with CCMA and with each other. This is a significant event for campus ministry and certainly a cause for celebration! Email Chrysta Bolinger at bolinger@ccmanet.org with your ministry’s plans by August 30 to be printed in the October/November issue of Crossroads.

Pilgrimage to England for Beatification of John Henry Cardinal Newman
     Pope Benedict XVI announced he will preside at the beatification ceremony of John Henry Cardinal Newman in Birmingham, England, September 19, 2010. On behalf of The Very Reverend Dennis Corrado, C.O., American Delegate to the Permanent Deputation and member of the Brooklyn Oratory in New York, we extend a special invitation to join a pilgrimage of North Americans to celebrate with our Holy Father the life and ministry of Cardinal Newman.Â
     Newman was one of the great intellectual and pastoral leaders of the 19th century. Prior to his conversion to the Roman Catholic Church, he had been a prominent member of the Oxford Movement, a group who advocated a return of the Church of England to its Catholic heritage.  After being ordained in Rome, Newman returned to England as an Oratorian.  He founded the Birmingham Oratory and was his beloved home throughout his long life.  With Fr. Frederick Faber he helped establish the Oratory in London known universally now as the Brompton Oratory.  Various ecclesiastical difficulties hindered his work in Ireland and England.  He sought to establish an oratory at Oxford where eventually a Catholic organization was founded and, in 1888, was renamed the Oxford University Newman Society.  Many Catholic campus ministries in the United States are called “Newman Centers” in recognition of Newman’s influence in supporting the spiritual formation of Catholic young people at non-Catholic colleges and universities.  Eventually, in 1993, an Oratory was founded in Oxford.Â
     Illume collaborates with pastoral leaders to create journeys to places of great historical and religious significance, places conducive to reflecting on our heritage, nurturing faith formation, building community and broadening perspectives.  Travel to places where visionary men and women forged new traditions inspires world citizenship and greater understanding of other lands and peoples, leading to more compassionate ways of life.Â
     We hope you will join our global community of family and friends for this special event!
     Details of the pilgrimage and information about registration can be found at   www.travelillume.com/trc/ckh

From the Knights of Columbus

Novena for Pope Benedict XVI
The Supreme Council is organizing an international effort to pray for Pope Benedict XVI and his pastoral mission leading the Church, that the Holy Father may be strengthened and uplifted at this time of considerable challenge.  All Knights are encouraged to participate in this special novena for Pope Benedict XVI, beginning on Divine Mercy Sunday, April 11th, and concluding on Monday, April 19th, the fifth anniversary of the Holy Father’s election to the papacy.

 Additional details and resources are available at www.kofc.org, including .pdf files of a special prayer card that will enable you to print copies locally.

 Throughout the Church’s history, whenever challenges have come, faithful Catholics have gathered in prayer, offering their supplications and sacrifices to God for specific intentions. Now we are called to unite our prayers for our Holy Father.

 Thank you in advance for helping to spread the word about this novena, and for taking part in it yourself. Please pass along this message to other Knights and Catholics in your area.  

May God bless and sustain our pope! Vivat Jesus!

A Message From the Awards Subcommittee Chair:
The Church Relations Committee encourages CCMA membership to nominate individuals and campus ministry programs for one of the CCMA Annual Awards. CCMA has a wealth of excellence among its members and programs. In making your nomination identifying individuals or programs that significantly impact campus ministry or offer innovation within the areas of Empowered by the Spirit, you help to share this wealth of excellence with the entire association along with the schools and dioceses in which we serve. 

The Exemplary Program Awards, as well as the Hallinan, Forsyth and Administrator Awards give CCMA members a wealth of resources for their ministries. But if members do not take the time to nominate individuals or programs, the Awards subcommittee is unable to honor campus ministries, campus ministers, administrators or bishops.

Please take the time to share the great campus ministers, programs and bishops who dedicate their lives to ministry in higher education.
