Father Bob, Recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award
During the UCC's 100th Anniversary
festivities, Father Bob was honored with
a Lifetime Achievement Award for his
60 years of service as a priest. He has
spent most of those years in service to
campus ministry across the country. We
also unveiled the Fr. Bob Good Stop
Endowment fund. This is a permanent
fund that will fund Catholic ministry at
UT. $89,000 has already been commit-
ted to the Good Stop Endowment! If

Remembering Our Deceased Loved Ones
Traditionally, the month of November has been a special time
for the Church to remember its deceased loved ones. So that we
may keep your dear ones in prayer, we invite you to write the
names of your beloved dead in our Book of Remembrance.
We also invite you to bring pictures and mementos of your loved
ones for a special display near the Book of Remembrance. The
Paschal Candle, symbol of Christ's resurrection over death, will
be lit near the book each time we celebrate the Eucharist during
the entire month of November.
