Need a Rosary?
I will pray and cry aloud; and He shall hear my voice.
Psalm 55:17
Wednesday, February 1st: 7pm at the Rocky Chapel
To compliment our discussion of the Rosary, Quincy and Alicia will be teaching others how to make hemp Rosaries. We can’t have you all come for a discussion on the Rosary and then leave you without one right? For MSUB students coming to Rocky, please park in the big parking lot that is off of Rimrock Road (the last one before 17th Street). If you stay to the far left of that parking lot, you will pass the back side of the student union building…(pass a dumpster/loading dock area)…follow the path and when you get to the main walkway through campus, turn to your right. You should see a large bear statue in front of a building. Come on in that building. Immediately to the right are a set of stairs that go down to the chapel 
Challenge of the Week:
“Recite your Rosary with faith, with humility, with confidence, and with perseverance.”
~Saint Louis de Montfort
Challenge yourself to take some extra time to pray the Rosary this week, even if it is only a few decades or a few Hail Marys a day.
My, Oh My BCCM!
Here’s an update from Peer Minister Ali Sapa
My, oh my! This year is off to a crazy start! So many activities, so many meetings, so many things have been done, and more is yet to come! Just this last weekend BCCM had of first official retreat *wahoo!* We had a strong group of ten college students attend the retreat, both from RMC and MSUB. The retreat went from Friday evening to Sunday morning, full of games, discussions, personal growth, and memoires. Also we had a very, very special guest Saturday evening, Bishop Warfel of the Great Falls – Billings area dropped by and had a great question/answer time with us. Later that evening we all attended evening mass at St. Pius. Overall, it was a great weekend. We all walked away with new friends, great memories, new lessons, and a closer connection with God.
But wait! BCCM is not done! This coming weekend our BCCM group (RMC-MSUB) will be helping out at the homeless shelter downtown from Friday evening to Sunday morning. We will be helping serve hot meals, listening to the personal stories from others, and lending a hand wherever it’s needed. It’s a great opportunity to see how we all can help out and promote better social services for all. We’ll catch you all on the flip side next week! Thank you!

PLUNGE
Do you care about service, about the poor, about your faith?
Are you willing to take the PLUNGE?
BCCM is offering a NEW program this spring, PLUNGE, the BCCM Service and Immersion Weekend. This weekend will be similar to our week-long service trip, except that we will travel a few miles down 27th Street to work with the poor in our own community. You’ve seen individuals holding signs at street corners, wandering with shopping carts, and huddled against buildings seeking warmth. Now’s your chance to serve them, to learn about poverty here in Billings, and to give back a few of the many blessings you’ve been offered in your own life. Take the PLUNGE and live for others!
We will be staying at working at the St. Vincent De Paul Center downtown (across the street from the Crowne Plaza) from Friday evening 5pm February 3rd to Sunday noon February 5th. Spots are limited so please consider how this opportunity can help you learn, grow, and give back. Cost is a minimal $20 to cover our food and lodging expenses. There is NO fundraising requirement to participate.
Additional information and an application can be found HERE!
Please send this info along to friends or roommates that you think would be interested. You do NOT have to be Catholic to participate, but we do ask that you be comfortable speaking about your own spirituality (whatever that is) with the group.
If you have any questions about this program, please don’t hesitate to call, text, email, whatever – billingsccm@gmail.com or 406-850-4488.
If you care about service, about the poor, about your faith, ask yourself….Will you take the plunge?
