GenChrist Notes
March for Life - SFL Trip
Among the trips going to this January's 39th annual March for Life, UofM Students for Life may be willing to have GenChrist members along for the journey.
--The current cost is around $160 (including $50 for the collegiate conference).
--Those GenChrist members who are interested should email Joe.
Tentative Schedule:
--Friday, January 20th: Leave on bus in the evening for D.C. Drive through the night and arrive early in the morning.
--Saturday, Jan. 21st: Free day in D.C.
--Sunday, Jan 22nd: Students for Life of America Conference, which begins with Mass and is open to all. The conference can be fantastic, especially in the area of pro-life apologetics. Or: another free day in D.C. (and would save the $50 registration fee).
--Monday, Jan 23rd: March for Life. As with last year, SFL'll probably try to get ahead of the bulk of the crowd so they can leave early enough to get back before people's classes start on Tuesday.
Catholic Writers Course
This spring, St. Thomas parishioner and UMich PhD candidate Tim Green will be teaching a course exploring the work of novelists and short story writers whose connections to Catholicism inform their literary achievements.
It will meet on Tuesdays and Thursday at 10 a.m. Course page.
Please recommend this course to any UMich undergrad who might be interested. There are 2 seats remaining - hurry, if you're interested!
Room for Rent There is a room available at the St. Patrick's house in Ypsilanti (AKA Aaron Harburg's house) starting January 2012. Rent is $360 plus utilities or if you know someone you want to share it with, $180 plus utilities.
