"Mental Illness:Response to Isolation, Call to Community".
A presentation and discussion with Deacon Brian McNulty, Mental Health Resource Minister for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Rochester.
Monday Nov. 19, 7:00pm,
Room 414 (International Lounge) Willard Straight Hall:
As Christians we are called into a community. We strive to be inclusive and welcoming. There are people, friends and strangers, who do not feel welcome or resist being involved with others. Do you know someone like this? This gathering will discuss the challenges of living with mental illness and the challenges of being a friend to a person with mental illness. Depression, anxiety and isolation can be signs of a need for community. Sometimes we do not know how to respond or where to turn for help. The teachings of the Christian Church and the Roman Catholic Church direct us to help call those outside of our community into relationship with God and with us. These and other ideas will be explored in this meeting.November Food Drive
Throughout the month of November, the Cornell Catholic Community will sponsor a food drive for the Food Bank of the Southern Tier. Stop by Anabel Taylor Hall to pick up a brown paper bag and return it by Sunday, Nov. 25 to donate it to the food pantry. Bags will be available after Sunday Mass in Sage Chapel as well. You can return bags to our offices in ATH or bring them to Mass. The Food Bank of the Southern Tier partners with over 160 organizations such as food pantries, meal programs, shelters, after-school programs and more to provide aid to those in need.Dinner&Discernment
Discerning your next step? Thinking and praying about your vocation? Just want to hear some inspiration from two awesome Sisters? Sr. Donna and Sr. Marilyn, two Sisters of St. Joseph who regularly visit our community, will join us at our November 28th Wednesday night dinner to speak about the process of discernment. The dinner will take place at 6 pm after our 5:15 Mass. All are welcome! Additionally, the Sisters will offer time slots for spiritual direction/guidance.

Our Kairos retreat will take place over February break, from February 22-24! Among several translations, 'Kairos' means "the opportune time" or "God's time." In this weekend long retreat students have the opportune time to deepen their faith and reflect on their relationship with God, self, and others. For more information or to sign up please visit: https://cornellcatholic.org/kairos-retreat Contact Abrey (aaf87) for any questions!Housing Opportunity
Chesterton House exists to help Cornell students make holistic connections between Christian faith and academic study. But even as we affirm your calling as students and encourage you to take your studies seriously, we also affirm that students are more than “brains on sticks.” Our bodies need to rest, to play, to cry, and to be regularly sustained with food. All of which is to say nothing of our deepest needs for community—meaningful relationships with classmates, neighbors, and the Maker of Heaven and Earth.
This living-learning community makes space for the faithful intersection of your “head” and your “hands.” What would it look like for a Cornell student to leave the room of detached individualism and step into a space where we might become more like Christ through embodied practices—praying for the world, cooking dinner for roommates, cleaning the bathroom, celebrating life, and even entering into shared lament.
The men’s residence, located at 115 The Knoll, and the female residences, located at 111 The Knoll and 401 Thurston, together create one community purposed to reflect this Christian reality to the Cornell campus and beyond.
We are currently taking applications for the men's and women's' houses for the 2019-20 year. Incoming first-year students may apply. Request an application by emailing nicole@chestertonhouse.org.
