Living Faith Society! Now is a great time to sign up to give monthly to the University Catholic Center! If you love the UCC and want to invest in its mission, join the Living Faith Society, a group of dedicated benefactors who support the UCC on a monthly basis. There are many reasons to donate with your credit/debit card or direct debit: earn miles, track your financial records more easily, receive instant acknowledgment for your gift, and so on. As a Living Faith Society member, you will receive the Living Faith Devotional booklet four times a year, in addition to the University Catholic Center’s newsletter with updates on how your contribution is allowing our students to strengthen their faith, develop their gifts, and grow into passionate faithful Catholic leaders. Visit http://www.utcatholic.org/donate.php to start your monthly gift to the UCC! In May, the UCC will host a special reception for all Living Faith Society members. Thank you for prayerfully considering a monthly commitment to the UCC!
