Beginning on Ash Wednesday (March 2), Catholics around the globe will embark on a 40-day journey of prayer, fasting and almsgiving. This is an opportunity to walk with Jesus through the desert, culminating in His Passion, Death and Resurrection. We invite all Catholic Coogs to join us on Ash Wednesday at AD Bruce Religion Center, Main Chapel at these Mass times: 7:00 AM, 12:00 PM, 7:00 PM
Every spring semester, UH Interfaith Week provides students to participate in events with the campus ministries of a different faith, "in order to learn, grow, and possibly befriend new students along the way. Interfaith Week serves as a reminder to our UH community that our diversity and unity makes us stronger." (www.uh.edu/adbruce/calendar/signature-events/interfaith-week/)
Sisters of the Pierced Hearts of Jesus and Mary visited the Catholic Newman Center for a "Lunch and Learn" and shared about Saint John Paul II's love for the youth, followed by a veneration of the travelling first-class relic, the blood, of Saint John Paul II. The blood in the vial was drawn in the last months of the saint's life during medical exams. The relic is one of only five related to Saint John Paul II and the only one that travels the world. It is deemed a 'first-class relic” because it has a direct connection to a saint. We are blessed by the visit of Sr. Alexia, Sr. Brittany and Sr. Ana Margarita! Saint John Paul II, pray for us!
Newman Center Director and Chaplain, Fr. Charles Johnson, OP reminds us of the hope and joy we have as we celebrate the Nativity of our Lord Jesus Christ
