Like many in the Houston area, the Catholic Newman Center sustained damage due to the winter storm this past week. We are hopeful to reopen soon, but are not sure how long it may take.
Depending when the CNC is ready to reopen, we may resume our usual events and hours this week. Please keep an eye on social media for updates.

Announcement from Fr. Charlie:
Last Sunday evening at vespers in the chapel of Holy Rosary Priory, after election by my brother friars on February 8, I signed the letter of acceptance and made the profession of faith and took office as prior of our Dominican priory for the 3 year term. I humbly ask for your prayers as I begin this office. My service at the UH Newman Center continues as before. St. Dominic, pray for us, ruega por nosotros, ora pro nobis!

What is Breakfast Club, you ask?
It’s a group of Christ-seeking friends that cast their petitions and worries at the feet of the Father through Our Lady’s intercession by praying the rosary and then getting breakfast at Cougar Woods! We pray for Claire, Claudia, Father Charlie, and all CSO intentions posted on this chat. Please let us know how we can pray for you!
How do I join?
Please join the Breakfast Club (BC) group me by following this link: https://groupme.com/join_group/52469123/XeGBwB3b

We pray for an end to this pandemic and healing to those who are suffering physically, emotionally, and financially due to the pandemic. May they find peace and hope in Jesus Christ. We pray for the souls of all those who have died due to the Coronavirus and the consolation of their loved ones.
For our seven students in small group evangelization formation this semester. May God guide, bless, and draw them near during their formation and prayer times.
We pray for all those who are still without power or clean water or have damage to their homes due to the winter storm. We pray for the repose of the souls of those who have died due to the cold. Lord, protect and bring healing to their homes and hearts. Give us a spirit of generosity to help how we can.
