These sessions are intended for those who consider themselves Catholic in some way, those who are curious about getting more involved at UCH even though they […]
Disaster assistance can't undo the tragedy, but it can - we can - in some small way help share the terrible burden. Through its established disaster relief channels, the United Church of Christ will be sending aid. There are many good ways to give, and we assure you this is one of them.
