Every year, in honor of St. Vincent Pallotti's birthday (April 21), the Pallotti Center runs a "Day of Service" event for former volunteers and other adults in the area. Last year, three former volunteers plus the Pallotti Center staff did some Spring cleaning for one of the DC L'Arche communities.

This year, the event will be assisting local DC program-Christ House-from 10am-2pm on Saturday, April 24.

Check out our event page, Facebook, and Twitter feed in the coming weeks for details. Limit space is available to volunteer. If you have interest in participating, you can email: pallotti@pallotticenter.org

This month is quickly filling up fast for us at the Pallotti Center!

Our Program Director, Molly Linehan, will be visiting some of our Chicago programs March 8-12. If you would like to schedule a visit for your program, please feel free to contact us! Our goal is to visit more of our member programs this year.

You can find all of our member programs listed in our online "Connections" directory.

We also are lining up presentations for returning Spring Break missioners and summer missioners/Workcampers. If you are interested in a presentation about the opportunities for long-term service or transitioning from the service experience for your group, please contact us today!

Both our National Director, Mike Goggin and Program Director, Molly Linehan will be in LA March 18-21 for the Religious Education Congress. Look for our table, pick up your copy of Connections, and say hello to Mike and Molly!

And of course, we will finish out this month celebrating Holy Week and looking towards the Resurrection. God bless your Lent!

The Pallotti Center just added a new page on "Discernment" to our Resource Center. You can check it ou by clicking on the link.

As you will find on our website, discernment is not just for major life choices. We can invite God to help us with many decisions in our lives.

We hope this new edition to our Resource Center will help those discerning volunteer service, as well as those transitioning onto other things.

Be sure to also check out notes for a personal "Discernment Retreat" in our Community Activities section under "Personal Development" and "Prayer/Spiritual Development".

God bless!
