Where is Father Dave?
Compass Bible Study During the Summer!
I am off to minister to travelers on the high seas. As a member of the Apostleship of the Seas, I will serve as the chaplain on Celebrity's Summit Cruise Ship, departing Venice on July 10 and arriving in Barcelona on July 23. Being a pastor to 2000 passengers and 1000 crew is an arduous undertaking, so please keep me in your prayers as I enjoy some vacation time before I begin my new assignment on August 1 as Director of Vocations for the Paulists. I will see you all at my last Sunday Mass at the UCC on July 27. -- Father Dave P.S. Be sure to stay a few minutes after Mass and join me in a Going Away reception.

Meeting on Tuesday nights from 7-8 pm in the St. Francis Room during the Summer, Compass is a fun and laid-back way to read scripture and get a little more out of Mass. Every week we spend an hour discussing the next Sunday’s readings and sharing our faith. We are student run, student led, and totally low time commitment, so drop by whenever you can. Come hang out with us this Tuesday! Father Dave’s Summer Movie Pick Earning near universal praise, Walt Disney Pictures and Pixar Animated Studios have joined together to create Wall-E. What a wonderful movie for the whole family! Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune says, “It's remarkable to see any film, in any genre, blend honest sentiment with genuine wit and a visual landscape unlike any other.” Go see what might well end up being the best movie of the summer. Metacritic.com gives this one an astronomical score of 93. Reminder: If you park in the alley on Sundays, please do not block our fire exit or access to the Central Parking lot used by the University Christian Church.

It’s an affordable private school that never rejects a student for financial reasons. At San Juan Diego Catholic High School each student works in a professional office environment one day a week to help pay for his or her own tuition.

Micah 6 Food Pantry UCC participates in the ecumenical Micah 6 food pantry through donation and volunteering on Thursdays and Saturdays. Many of the people we serve are homeless. Don’t forget our “neighbors” who have nothing during the summer months. Please continue to bring canned goods and packaged dry goods to Sunday Mass for the baskets near the fountain. We ask that you continue to support the Micah 6 Food Pantry with your generous donations. Thanks to all for your help.
