The Catholic Center is transitioning to a new Facebook page so we are in compliance with the Archdiocesan social media policy. Please like our new page at https://www.facebook.com/ccatuga. The old page will be deactivated on December 15th.

To raise money for the Alternative Spring Break Mission Trips, we are starting a brand new "Hire A Student" program. We will match parishioners with students who can help them with their job or chore and in exchange help sponsor the student's trip. Parishioners can have students do anything from yard work, to pet sitting, to moving furniture. Then, the parishioner will make a check donation to the Catholic Center, and the money will go towards the student's Alternative Spring Break trip. Please email Antonella Cirino at amc70107@uga.edu if you are interested.
