and all who are doing their utmost to rescue survivors and help those affected. We ask You, Father, to grant the American people the strength and courage they need at this time of sorrow and trial.

Prayer for Peace in the World Every week Monsignor Robert Aitken leads us in a community 8am Mass in the Senior Campus Chapel. All members of the community are invited. On September 11 Monsignor led us in prayer for the victims of the tragic terrorist attacks of 9/11. The following is an extract from Pope John Paul’s longer prayer for the victims of 11 Sept which was distributed to all CBC staff for reflection with their students. Almighty Father, we commend the victims of this shocking tragedy to Your eternal love. We implore Your comfort upon the injured, the families and friends involved,
This week let us pray for peace in our world, peace in Australia, peace in our families and peace within our own hearts.
Emeritus Professor Robin Storer Old Collegian and Emeritus Professor Robin Storer (Flinders University School of Chemistry, Physics and Earth Sciences) recently retired from the College Board after many years of dedicated service. Robin was Chair of the CBC Advisory Board from 1981-1983 and served on the College Board from 2006 to 2013. His sons attended CBC and together with his wife Isabelle they have been dedicated supporters of the College. Robin’s contributions especially as Chairman of the Board Education Subcommittee were pivotal as SA and CBC moved to a new delivery of the SA Certificate of Education SACE early in 2000. I will personally miss Robin’s wisdom, sense of humour and friendship and wish him and his family every blessing and the deepest of gratitude from the College community for his outstanding service to the College.
Justice and Solidarity
We are committed to justice and peace for all, grounded in a spirituality of action and reflection that calls us to stand in solidarity with those who are marginalised and the Earth itself.

UN Youth Australia is a national youth-led charity that aims to build the people’s movement for the United Nations through the education and empowerment of young Australians. We seek to provide young Australians with a global education, one that gives them a deep knowledge of the social and political problems confronting the world and the skills to address them. We believe that young people are not just Australia’s future leaders; they lead now. We act to expand the opportunities for young people to make a difference in their communities. We are a federal, grassroots organisation run entirely by young volunteers under 25 years old from across Australia. Our more than 500 members are committed volunteers who act on the basis of goodwill, giving shape and hope to our future.
