Lent 2009 Sacred Grounds Coffee House — TODAY!

The UCC will have Mass at 12 pm, 3 pm and 5 pm. We will
join for a Joint Christian Service at 7 pm on the Main Mall. We
will also have a Liturgy of the Word at 9 pm. All services will
have ashes.
All are invited to celebrate Fat Tuesday (February 24th) at
MeatFest 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 today after all UCC Masses. 100% of the event’s
proceeds will support Micah 6, a local ecumenical food pantry
operated by seven nearby parishes.
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.
Lenten Renewal Retreat
The UCC will be hosting its annual Lenten retreat Friday, March
6 and Saturday, March 7. The theme is Our Baptismal call:
Priest, Prophet and King. The retreat will begin 6:20 Friday

for students and $10.00 for non-students. Registration will be this
weekend and next or online at http://s.utcatholic.org/lent09

Seventh Sunday of OT
February 22 6:30-7:30pm in the UCC Basement
Transition your focus as Lent approaches with coffee and
Catholic thought. Join friends for an evening of fuel and
fellowship as the topic of Jesus' sacrificial love is presented.
Music and munchies will be provided!
Tuesdays ● 7:00 pm ● St. Mark Room
8 pm Mass Parking Changes
8 pm Mass attendees are no longer 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 is no longer 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.
Phonathon 2009
Calling all students! Starting March 1st we will be phoning
parents, alumni, friends and benefactors during our 3rd annual
Phonathon campaign and we need your help! There will be
prizes awarded for individuals and student groups including

Gay and Lesbian Support Group
With the encouragement and support of Bishop Aymond, the
UCC is forming a support group for Catholic students who
identify themselves as gay or lesbian. The purpose of this group
is to provide a safe and confidential place for these individuals to
meet for discussion, prayer and fellowship. For more
information, contact Father Ed Koharchik here at the UCC (512-
476-7351 x12; edcsp@utcatholic.org).
