Lenten Soup Makers Needed
Lent is just around the corner and we will be having our
community Lenten Soup Suppers again this year on Fridays
during Lent. The soup for these suppers is provided by student
and resident community members of the UCC. We are hoping to
have about 18 soup makers during lent this year each providing
approx 20-30 servings. If you can help make soup for one of the
meals, please email me, Michael Burkhart, at
tarazan_fox@yahoo.com.
Starts Tuesday ● 7:00 pm ● St. Mark Room
Director of Development Hired!
We are pleased to announce that we have hired Ana-Cristina
Gonzalez as our new Director of Development. Ana is a 2002
UT grad who was very active at the UCC. She brings a deep
passion for the mission of the UCC, along with her own fond
memories of her years as a student leader. Ana will begin her
employment on February 16th. Please welcome Ana to the UCC
family! You can send her notes of welcome to
ana@utcatholic.org
8 pm Mass Parking Changes
Effective March 1st, 8 pm Mass attendees will no longer be
able to park in the lot at the corner of 20th and Whitis. This
lot had been leased by St. Austin’s on Sundays and they had
generously allowed us to use it for our late Mass. Since St.
Austin will no longer be leasing that lot, we can no longer use it.
The UCC Staff is investigating other possible parking
arrangements and will announce any new parking in the bulletin.
Thanks for your understanding.
All are invited to celebrate Fat Tuesday (February 24th) at Meat-
Fest 09, hosted by Lambda Omega Alpha. An all-you-can-eat
dinner of brisket, pork, chicken, hamburgers, hot dogs, sides, and
desserts will be available from 6:00 to 10:00 in the UCC atrium.
Admission will cost $7.00 upon entrance or $5.00 if prepaid
Sunday, February 22nd after all UCC Masses. 100% of the
event’s proceeds will support Micah 6, a local ecumenical food
pantry operated by seven nearby parishes.
