On tap for April is:

Lenten Community Eucharist and Breakfast

Padres Baseball Game and Party Downtown

Since it's the start of our "season" here in San Diego, I thought I'd give you a shot of the fight song I found on YouTube:

 

 

 

      

 

Alumni Dinner

Am e-mail went out to our alumni list announcing our Alumni Lenten Dinner (click link for more information).

We have a great initial response of 10 .  That means we only have 15 spots left.  Dinner is $13 and children under 12 are free. 

Email Brian Brady at azbrady@alum.villanova.edu to secure your reservation.

Alumni Lenten Eucharistic Breakfast

The Villanova Alumni Club has been invited to celebrate the Eucharist as a group for Lent.  Spend Palm Sunday with your Villanova family (and bring yours along).

We will meet for the 10:00AM Mass at St Charles Borromeo Parish in Point Loma (click link for directions).  The Point Loma Knights of Columbus have invited us to stay for their Pancake Breakfast afterwards .

March 9, 2007 is "Villanova Night" at the Lenten Friday Fish dinners at St James in Solana Beach (click link for directions).  We have reservations for 25 people.  This is not your garden variety "KofC Fish Fry"; quite the contrary.  Each week a gourmet fish dinner is served.  On March 9, adults will enjoy shrimp/fish kebobs with salad, rice, and beans for $13.00.  Children under 12 will be served fish sticks, macaroni and cheese, tater tots, and mixed vegetables.

This is the night of the semi-finals for the Big East Tournament.  Should Villanova be playing, the game will be on.  Dinner starts at 6:15PM.
