Under Construction

We Need a Title!

Dear SJSM Students,

I am assembling the template for this online newsletter for SJSM. The newsletter needs a title and a text of Scripture as a theme for the newsletter. Please submit suggestions for the newsletter title and a text of Scripture that would act as a sort of mission statement for the newsletter/school to me at van@sjoaquin.net Please write "SJSM Newsletter" in the subject line.

The newsletter will be published in a "blog" format. So, it will be interactive, allowing students/instructors to add comments to each article. The intent of which is to encourage ideas, suggestions, share experiences and ask questions in a way that will benefit everyone involved in the schools. The newsletter will be linked to the SJSM page of the diocesan website so that it will be easy to find. Students and instructors are encouraged to submit articles, stories, photos and topics for the newsletter. Kelsey and I are also working on a FAQ page for the SJSM website. If you have a general question that would be relevant to others, please send us your questions. What would you like to see built into our website and newsletter?

Kelsey recently pointed me to an excellent resource titled, "A Short Summary of What Candidates Ought to Know in Each of the Seven Canonical Areas" from the TEC ministry development website. We have posted that summary on the "Vocations" page at http://www.sjoaquin.net/canonical_exams.htm. The Vocations page link is listed in the "Links" list in the column to the left.

I hope that the website and newsletter will be a valuable resource and look forward to your comments and suggestions.

(By the way, you can write/read public comments, questions or suggestions at the "comments" link below)

Yours in Christ,

Fr Van McCalister
