Archbishop's annual visit to the UCO Catholic Newman: Wednesday, November 4!: Archbishop
Beltran, the Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City, will be with us on Wednesday evening, November 4!!! He
will join us at the UCO Catholic Newman House for dinner (6pm) and then celebrate Mass for us on campus at the UCO Y-Chapel
of Song at 8pm.  This is perhaps the most important gathering we will have for the entire academic year as the archbishop only comes to visit
us once a year. Please make every effort to put this event on your schedule and let us show the archbishop that we are
alive and on fire for Jesus!
$100 Deposits for Pro-Life March trip to Washington, DC are due Friday, October 9! For
those that are planning on going to the Pro-Life March in DC...your $100 deposits are due to Raul by Friday night, October
9. Once deposits are collected...airline tickets will be purchased in your name using money from our house account.
If after you give your deposit and decide later to not go...you will be responsible for reimburing the house account for the
cost of your airline ticket since we are buying all of the airline tickets at the same time and those airline tickets
are non-changeable/non-refundable.  For those students who would like to go, but need serious financial assistance (ie...your parents are unable to help you with
money)...I do have funds for you to go on this trip. Please come and see me (Raul) to talk to me about it and we will
work it out. This is a very important trip and can be a life-changing experience. I hope that as many students
as possible are able to go on this trip!

UCO Catholic Newman House receives major face-lift! Thanks to the generosity of many
benafactors and volunteers, the UCO Catholic Newman House was recently re-modeled inside to bring the house 'up-to-date'
and make it more inviting and welcoming for college students. Special thanks go out to the "Women of
St. John" (Carrie Harkey and family, Mary Beth Wilcoxen, Katie Miller, Jo Joyce and family, and Kailee and Chris Zehrung),
Susan and Don Roy, Dale Moore, Barry Finnegan, the Knights of Columbus, numerous parishioners of St. John's and UCO
Catholic Newman students. Our house (built in 1956) was given a much needed make-over and is now ready to welcome all
college students through it's doors! The Lord has truly blessed this ministry and we give thanks to Almighty God
for the many blessings which He has bestowed on us! Deo Gratias! (Thanks be to God!)
