News - Information on Lay Retreats, Days of Prayer, Educational Lectures or other such activities can be found on the table in the rear of the Chapel or at the Center.

Renovation Campain - Please give prayerful consideration to a generous contribution to our Renovation Campaign. Our parish community owes its existence to the need for a Catholic campus ministry at Tulane. The Tulane Catholic Center is the place where much of that ministry takes place. Sometimes it is easy to forget that if one only attends at Rogers Chapel. Go over to the Catholic Center and look around. You will see why this renovation campaign is so necessary and requires a very generous response. Without the campus ministry, we could not have our St. Thomas More University Parish! Without the Tulane Catholic Center, the campus ministry would be difficult if not impossible.

Liturgy for the Sick - Most Reverend Archbishop Alfred Hughes will celebrate a Special Liturgy for the Sick on Sunday, January 27, 2002, at 10:30 AM at St. Louis Cathedral. As we all know, the 10:30 AM Mass at the Cathedral is televised and reaches a great number of the sick and shut-ins in their homes, residences and hospitals. All Eucharistic Ministers to the sick, sick and homebound are encouraged to participate in this celebration in some manner.

Couples Prayer Group - Looking for something more in your life? Something to help make sense in the world? Something to bring a little peace or understanding? The spiritual tools of prayer and meditation may be the answer. Tom and Marina Bishop invite couples interested in a regular prayer group to sign up in the rear of the chapel. Date, time, location and agenda will be decided by the group at their first meeting.
