This week's Bulletin will include an insert summarizing Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship, a teaching document issued by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops last November.
The document lays out the Church's commitment to responsible participation in the political process and provides a thoughtful framework for choosing leaders and making decisions that impact the common good.
Please take it home for further study and prayerful consideration. The full document can be checked out of the Theological Education Resource Center at the Catholic Center or can be read online at
If you are seeking a way to volunteer, do service, or just spend time with some great kids, come tutor in Vickery Meadow this Wednesday. Most of the kids are refugees from Africa and the Middle East and need a lot of help with their schoolwork. They also just love meeting new people! Meet at the Catholic Center at 3:45 on Wednesday. Contact Laura Arellano-Weddleton for more information.

The SMU Catholic Community is proud of you Coach Rompola!
From the Daily Campus:
SMU women's head basketball coach Rhonda Rompola established herself as the new leader for most career wins in SMU basketball after defeating the Southern Miss Golden Eagles on January 13th. Sunday's 85-72 victory, broadcast on national television, secured Rompola's 300th career win. In doing so, she surpassed former men's basketball head coach E.O. "Doc" Hayes.
When asked about what the record meant to her personally, Rompola explained, "What is special about 300 wins is they all came here at SMU."
Rompola, an SMU grad, is now in the middle of her 17th season as head coach for the Mustangs. Currently posting a 12-4 overall record, and 2-1 record in Conference USA play, Rompola feels a special bond to the athletes. Since arriving on the Hilltop in 1991 to become the head coach, Rompola has led SMU to a 288-188 mark. During this time she has taken the Mustangs to their first postseason tournament appearance in school history.
You can support Coach Rompola and the Mustangs at their next home game, Thursday night at 7:00 p.m at Moody Coliseum.
A big thank you to our "Leader Feeders" this weekend. This past Friday night Denise Dunlap and Mayra Thompson provided a feast to kickoff the Servant Leader Retreat at the Neuhoff Catholic Center.
Saturday morning Kurt VandeMotter, Martha Click, and Pam Buckley whipped up a Breakfast of Champions bright and early to send us on our way.
Also Thank You to Monsignor Milam Joseph and Father Rudy Garcia for celebrating Mass and the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
