Men's Coats Needed

Thanks for all who donated coats in October. Many people were helped at the Clothes Closet on Coat Give-Away Day, and there is fortunately a supply of women's coats available. However, there is a great need for men's coats.  All donations should be freshly laundered, sealed, and brought to the First Unitarian Church at 809 South 4th Street, Monday or Wednesday from 9:30-11:30 am. Contact clcmdirector@gmail.com with questions or to set up an alternate time.

Kickstart Your Advent

with the Blessed Mother!

In those weeks before the first Christmas, no one was closer to Jesus than His mother Mary. Adore Him through her eyes at the next First Saturday Devotion on Saturday, December 3 at the Cathedral of the Assumption. Mass begins at 9 am, and a devotional holy hour and Sacrament of Penance follows at 9:30 am. The devotion will include Eucharistic Adoration, Fatima prayers, the Rosary with Meditations, and beautiful sacred music by soprano Sarah Nettleton Cleary! This event is sponsored by the Archdiocesan Marian Committee.

Understanding LAUDATO SI'

Live Educational Series

What's happening to our common home? Floods, drought, hurricanes, tornadoes, cyclones, melting ice glaciers, drying lakes—Those realities of climate change prompted Pope Francis  to ask that question in Chapter One of his notable Encyclical, Laudato Si’ – On Care of Our Common Home. Laudato Si’ calls us toward sustainability in the spirit of integral ecology. With profound care for each other, our Creator, and all creation, we are building a better future together.

Archbishop Shelton Fabre: "I would like to encourage people of this Archdiocese to become familiar with Pope Francis' Encyclical LAUDATO SI'-ON CARE FOR OUR COMMON HOME. You may do so by signing up for the presentations and discussions noted here in January, February, March and April."
