This weekend, the Church celebrates the second of three scrutinies with the Elect - those who are preparing for Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist at the Easter Vigil. We pray for our Elect: Julie Chou and Doug Hunt. These prayers are to assist them in their preparation for the Easter Sacraments and make firm their commitment as they enter the Church. Please keep them, as well as our Candidates for Full Communion, in your prayers. The Catholic Daughters of the Americas will open a college court here at the UCC starting in March. The Catholic Daughters of the Americas (CDA), founded in 1903, has courts in parishes throughout the United States. CDA, a life-long organization for Catholic women, strives to embrace the principles of faith through the promotion of justice, equality and the advancement of human rights and dignity for all. There will be an informational meeting Thursday, March 22 at 7:00 pm in the St Francis room at the UCC. If you have further questions there will be a representative from CDA in the atrium after each Mass on March 18th. Bulletin announcement deadline is Monday 2:00 pm.
