Welcome, Alumnae!

Dear Cor Jesu Alumnae,

Welcome to the alumnae web page! This site should be a handy tool for you to keep in touch with fellow alumnae and your alma mater, so please visit often!

To view all the exciting features of the Alumnae page, all you have to do is LOG IN by clicking here or scrolling down to the bottom of this page or the home page to "Login," where you will be prompted to enter your User ID and Password. Once you are logged in, you will be able to access the many links located on the right-hand column of this page.

As a 1985 alumna, I cherish each day my role as the Alumnae Director. I always look forward to meeting new alums and rekindling the friendships of alums from my past.

The association has experienced tremendous growth over the past few years, as many new activities are bringing alumnae back to Cor Jesu! We strive to offer something for everyone! Whether you are a trivia buff and would like to attend the Alumnae Trivia Night, or whether you have small children who would delight in a morning with Santa at the Alumnae Visit with Santa, or whether you are a professional interested in networking with other professional alums through the Alumnae Networking Program, we have something for you!

I especially look forward to the class reunions held each year in June! What a wonderful time to renew past friendships and recall cherished memories of our years at Cor Jesu! For those classes who had their reunions in June 2010, you may click here to be directed to the Kabance Photo website to view the photos from your reunion.

Staying in touch with you is important to us, so please tell us about the exciting events in your life – births, marriages, honors, publications, promotions, changes of address and/or e-mail. You are a big part of the history of Cor Jesu, and through your continuous connection and involvement, the CJ spirit remains alive and well!

And speaking of the history of Cor Jesu, so often I am asked the question, "Where is Sister _____?" The Sisters were such an integral part of our years here and many of you ask to be reconnected with the ones who taught you. If there is a particular Apostle you wish to reconnect with, you are invited to click on the “Locate an Apostle” link here or on the side menu and complete the form. If the Sister you are looking for is a living Apostle, your message will be passed on to her.

Cor Jesu recently created an Alumnae FaceBook page as a means of keeping connected to all of you! If you haven't done so already, we invite you to visit us on FaceBook and reconnect with other alums, as it is another way that CJ is going to communicate with its alums about events, reunions, scholarship funds, and other events around CJ!

Alumnae support is essential in maintaining the legacy of our alma mater. I ask that you please continue your support of the Alumnae Class Endowed Scholarship Program. Our annual gifts allow Cor Jesu students to have the opportunity to experience the same spirit, the same outstanding education and the same sense of faith and family that we experienced back when we were students here. What a great feeling to know that your support is truly making a difference for Cor Jesu students today!

I want to personally say thank you for your loyalty and support of the school. I welcome any ideas, thoughts or concerns that you may have to make OUR alumnae association even better! Please feel free to contact me at any time by e-mail at pferrara@corjesu.org or by phone at 314.842.4429, ext. 266.

Sincerely,

Patty Ferrara '85
Director of Alumnae Relations
