Be Someone’s Friend
Come join a group of volunteers who make people happy! On
Sunday mornings we carpool to our sister community at the Aus-
tin State School for the Mentally Retarded. We accompany resi-
dents to a Catholic prayer service we hold in the Chapel. Many
of these folks are in wheelchairs and could not come to church
without us. For more information, please sign up at the
front counter; call Kathy Hackett, 512.928.1776: or email
stateschool@utcatholic.org
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.
