SURVEY OF YOUR FAVORITE SAINTS
We need your feedback!
We are in the process of redecorating the University Catholic Center and a part of our plan includes the addition of iconography of saints throughout the Center. We want the icons selected to be reflective of saints that you, the members of our community, are drawn to and inspired by. Please take a moment to complete this short survey - it will play a large part in determining which icons will find a home at the University Catholic Center!

MOVIE NIGHT: FATHER STU
Saturday, November 19 at 7:00 PM - University Catholic Center
Join us for a showing of Father Stu, the true-life story of a boxer-turned-priest. When an injury ends his amateur boxing career, Stuart Long moves to Los Angeles to find money and fame. While scraping by as a supermarket clerk, he meets Carmen, a Sunday school teacher who seems immune to his bad-boy charm. Determined to win her over, the longtime agnostic starts going to church to impress her. However, a motorcycle accident leaves him wondering if he can use his second chance to help others, leading to the surprising realization that he's meant to be a Catholic priest.
