All are invited to our annual Veterans Day Mass and Brunch on Monday, November 11, beginning with Mass at 9:00AM. All Veterans, their families, and anyone who would like to honor our veterans are welcome. Following mass there will be a short program at the flagpole (weather permitting). The Silver Angels will host a brunch afterwards. We ask everyone to bring a brunch-type dish to share. We hope to see you there! If you have any questions, please call the Center office.
 

The Catholic Center Fall Bazaar is Saturday, Nov. 16 from 9:00AM to 1:00PM  in the Center Hall. We currently have 21 skilled exhibitors to showcase and sell their handiwork/goods. There are a great variety of vendors who will show off their amazing works of art and wonderful gifts ready for purchase to make your holiday shopping easier this season. 

Vendors include: handmade wood-workings, custom designed cookies,
knitted pieces, candles, jewelry, and much more!
Come join us to shop around and admire  the amazing talents of our Athens community.

The Catholic Center is participating in this year’s Turkey-Palooza
from until Thursday, Nov. 21 with Campus Kitchen!
This amazing food drive provides many families in the Athens Area the food they need for a wonderful Thanksgiving meal.

 The Catholic Center will be collecting two items:
14 or 15 ounce cans of Green Beans
 6 ounce cans of  French Fried Onions

 To avoid having a more favored item for donation, we ask that you donate each item equally!

The Catholic Center will host our 24th Annual Thanksgiving
Dinner at Denny Towers on Sunday, Nov. 24 at 12:30PM. As our tradition, we will be serving the senior residents with a Thanksgiving feast of turkey and all the trimmings, while not forgetting LOTS of delicious desserts!  It takes many hands to whip up this feast, so we are asking for volunteers to help with purchasing food items, cooking, set up, serving, and clean up.  If you are interested in helping – and kicking off your holiday season on a very positive note! –  please contact Cathy Clutter at (706)255-1033 or at cclutter@uga.edu.
