Catholic Gators Student Leaders
Weekly Update - February 7, 2016
Hey Student Leaders!
A Parking Lot Update
Beginning tomorrow, Monday Feb. 8, the St. A's parking lot we all know and sort of love (minus the potholes) will be closed for construction. The construction company has provided parking for us at the lot on University in between the Episcopal Student Center and the Baptist Student Center (on 15th). There will be 30 spots a day Monday-Friday. Use those for Mass and meetings, especially during the day. Sunday parking will be there also; 150 spots.
On top of those 30 spots, city parking is lifted after 5pm unless otherwise noted. There are lots of places around the church where city parking will be available for evenings. For large events, we can arrange walkovers from the O'Connell Center. Your lovely co-coordinators have created an awesome graphic with other parking ideas. As soon as the final touches have been put on it, we'll make it widely available.
What does this mean for you guys? The need to plan ahead, most definitely. Perhaps some minor headache and inconvenience. But we're here to help you with all that! If you have questions about this or unsure about what it might mean for your ministry, please shoot me or any of the CSC staff an email or a text. We want to plan with you and think creatively with you! You all are rock stars, and together we've got this!
A few things you can do:
- Carpool! Good for the environment, good for making new friends, good for your stress levels
- Help new Catholic Gators find parking nearby or offer to drive them
- Gentlemen, this is your hour to step up! Please look after the ladies; make sure they aren't walking to their cars alone at night. Ladies, I know you are strong and capable young women, but I also know that the world is a dangerous place to be a woman sometimes. Let the gentlemen be gentlemen and accompany you!
- It's going to be really tempting at times to grumble and complain and be cranky. When that happens, turn it to good! Offer it up and pray for the parish, for the Catholic Gators, and for Mission 10,000.
