A Word from Our Ministry Team

THANK YOU to the 50 students who made over 1300 calls and volunteered over 100 hours during our Phon-a-thon!!! This annual student-led fundraiser raised over $9,600 in pledges for our ministry.

As a member of the staff, it was encouraging to witness students connecting with the alumni, parents, and friends of the UCC and sharing their experiences with each other—some even reconnecting after years away from the center.

From the resident community members who provided meals for our hungry callers to the students who braved that first cold call, and to our benefactors who continue to hold us in your prayers and support us financially, all of us here at the University Catholic Center are blessed by your spirit of generosity. We give God thanks for all of you.

Thank you for continuing to share your time, talents, and treasures!

Carol Filip Development Associate
