    FILM SCREENING – My Name is Pauli Murray

    Wednesday, Feb. 16, 6-8 p.m., Crail C

    Overlooked by history, Pauli Murray was a legal trailblazer whose ideas influenced RBG’s fight for gender equality and Thurgood Marshall’s civil rights arguments.  This is a portrait of their impact as a non-binary luminary: lawyer, activist, poet, and Episcopal priest who transformed our world.

    This film screening and discussion is part of the Open Table formation program.

    COLD WEATHER SHELTER

    Working in conjunction with the City of Austin and Front Steps, St. David’s will open its doors to homeless women on freezing nights when the Cold Weather Shelter (CWS) system is activated.

    WAYS TO SERVE:

    • Share the Warmth – Blankets Needed
      St. David’s Cold Weather Shelter needs blankets to help our neighbors stay warm throughout the nights when the system is activated. Donations of new or gently used blankets or quilts can be dropped off by the front desk. We can make a difference together to help our neighbors stay warm this winter.
    • Volunteer – Serve evening or overnight shifts (6-10 p.m. or 7 p.m.-7 a.m.) providing hospitality or overnight monitoring for up to 25 women who are experiencing homelessness. The city would screen and process participants and test for COVID-19. Read the CWS Volunteer Guide for details.

      To help provide a warm inviting environment in the Gym please contact Father Santi Rodriguez

    FEBRUARY LAUNDRY LOVE –DETERGENT DRIVE

    Throughout the month of February, we will be collecting laundry detergent (pods of any brand are much preferred!) and dryer sheets for our ongoing Laundry Love ministry! You can drop off the supplies in the lobby of the church or order them online and have them sent to the church in the care of St. David’s Laundry Love.

    Additionally, if you’d like to make a Valentine or write a note of encouragement to our Laundry Love participants, those will be given out at the February Laundry Love event.
