Richard Rohr quote

This is the quote from Richard Rohr that Deacon Phil Hengen mentioned at Mass this Sunday:

Watch your thoughts, they become words.

Watch your words, they become actions.

Watch your actions, they become habits.

Watch your habits, they become character.

Watch your character, it becomes your destiny.

Forsyth Closed

Forsyth will be closed from the west of the CSC until July 5. We apologize for the inconvenience. The stretch of Forsyth in front of the CSC can still be accessed from the east.

Construction has begun across the street at Wash U, so parking will be more limited at Mass. You can park on Sundays down the street at Hillel or Forsyth School, or on Wash U's architecture school parking lot. Please add a few extra minutes for the longer walk to the CSC on Sunday.

Commonweal Editorial Editorial Assistant Position Open

Commonweal Magazine is looking for a new editorial assistant to begin work here at the end of the summer. The editorial assistant will help the editors with manuscript review, proofreading, and editorial correspondence. He or she will also be responsible for some administrative and office support duties.

We are looking for candidates with a demonstrated familiarity with Commonweal and the topics it covers (Catholicism, theology, politics, books, media). Prior experience in a journalism or media environment, as well as experience with Web-based publishing tools and techniques, would be a significant plus. The position is full-time, although the Commonweal office operates on a four-day work week (Monday through Thursday).
