Religious Education Classes for Children
We are now forming RE classes for grades PreK through 12 for
the 2008-09 school year. Most of the communication for this
program is conducted through our RE Yahoo Group website. But
you need to be a member and it's "restricted" group that requires
an invitation. The site address is: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/
catholiccenter-religious-ed/
If you're not a member, please email one of the following
persons: Michael Burkhart at tarazan_fox@yahoo.com or Anne
Gilbert at annemgilbert@hotmail.com. Once you're "in" you can
find registration forms for downloading and a calendar for the
fall session.
Our classes meet in the UCC on Sundays immediately following
the 9:00 am Mass. As always, we need participation from many
parents! We have a small group with small classes and the UCC
has no Director of RE, so we ask all parents to seek The Spirit's
guidance to contribute to our program. We encourage team or
group teaching. If you have any questions, please call Anne
Gilbert at 301-4312 or Mary Beck at 502-1225.
Catholic Men Wanted!
Lambda Omega Alpha, the Catholic men's fraternity of the UCC,
invites all men interested in pursuing the virtues of Loyalty,
Chivalry, and Spirituality to attend one of the following Pledge

the 8 pm Mass, Tuesday, September 2, at 7pm, or next Sunday,

Become the UCC’s Communications Intern!
We are looking for an English, Communication, Journalism, or
Public Relations major who is interested in an unpaid internship
for the 2007-2008 school year. The intern will be responsible for
compiling and editing the UCC’s quarterly newsletter, writing
press releases, developing an e-newsletter, and helping with
other communication-related projects as assigned. Working 10-
15 hours per week, the intern will gain great professional
experience for his or her resume while providing valuable

We’re ordering cups, pens and snack clips to give away to

help pay for one of these?
Cups $290; Pens $225; Clips $350.
Another wishlist item is $270 for a popcorn popper, like the

A little advice to students: “Work as though everything depended on you. Pray as though everything depended on God.” Hey, even the non-students could benefit from this. This spiritual stuff ain’t bad.
