Communal penance services March 10 & 23

Join St. Austin Parish and the UCC

in preparing for the coming of
Easter at our Lenten communal
Penance Services. Opportunities for
individual confession will follow the
services.

A Word from Our Ministry Team

THANK YOU to the 50 students who made
over 1300 calls and volunteered over 100
hours during our Phon-a-thon!!! This annual
student-led fundraiser raised over $9,600 in
pledges for our ministry.
As a member of the staff, it was encouraging
to witness students connecting with the alumni, parents, and
friends of the UCC and sharing their experiences with each
othersome even reconnecting after years away from the center.
From the resident community members who provided meals for
our hungry callers to the students who braved that first cold call,
and to our benefactors who continue to hold us in your prayers
and support us financially, all of us here at the University Catholic
Center are blessed by your spirit of generosity. We give God
thanks for all of you.
Thank you for continuing to share your time, talents, and
treasures!
