Nouvel: A Night to Shine is a special evening celebrating Nouvel Catholic Central, it's growth and long-term plans. The first three years created an endowment to support faculty compensation, with the aim of providing long-term, stable income through investment returns on the endowed funds. Through creating an endowment, Nouvel strengthens its commitment to attracting and retaining first-in-class educators to form children in Christ for generations to come. This year will continue that momentum and celebrate continued growth on our campuses.

On Tuesday, October 6, we will gather as leaders of this diocese for our first Leadership Conference, “This IS The Moment"!

The 39th Annual Red Mass will take place on Thursday (October 8) at 6:00 PM at the Cathedral of Mary of the Assumption. The Red Mass tradition is long standing among the bench and bar. Its origin can be traced to the middle of the 13th century. The Red Mass (so designated because of the red vestments worn by the celebrating clergy, and because it is a Votive Mass of the Holy Spirit) was celebrated in France, Italy and England in the Middle Ages, before the Reformation, and the tradition has continued for almost seven hundred years.
