Have You Enrolled With ParishPay Yet?

Blessed are you who believed that what was
spoken by the Lord would be fulfilled.
Luke 1:39-45
This is our automated giving program. It's easy and
convenient for you and it helps the UCC considerably. As
a faith community, we are better able to plan and budget
when we can be assured of our income each month. As a
student or resident community member, you also can
budget and make your offerings more conveniently
without writing checks or remembering to bring cash. To
have your offering withdrawn directly from your checking
account, or debited to your credit card, enroll at
www.parishpay.com. Thank you for your continued
support of the University Catholic Center.
