The R.C.l. strives to help those in need 1'f P351 :R Brother Joe, Moderator of the R.C.I., serves students their choice of food during the successful International Food Day. 24 The final thought for the day is read by Tim Donnegan during an R.C.l. mass. Regis Christian Involvement is an elite group of students, organ' ized four years ago by Brother Joe Gockel, SJ. Their goal has been to become involved in the world as Christians. To achieve this, they spend time in personal and liturgical prayer and in community service. The R.C.l. held several masses for themselves and for the student body, and met frequently for prayer, talks and sharing. In past years, they have built houses in Honduras, sent relief to Honduras after last year's hurricane, and raised over ten thousand dollars for a scholarship fund for Regis High School. For this school year, their first goal was to raise 5500.00 for a bed for Children's Hospital of Denver. To raise this money, events such as the International Food Day, Christmas candy sale, Dance and Bake sale were held to coax money from the student body and many friends of Regis.
