206 ELIGIOUS GROUPS If you have ever been to the 1715 mass at the Cadet Chapel, and have seen a group of cadets, officers, and assorted others on the left side of the altar singing and playing the songs for mass, you have seen the Cadet Catholic Folk Group at work. The group sings at both Saturday and Sunday masses with different members attending each mass. A nice alternative to the organ music on Sunday morning, the Folk Group focuses on parish music that is easy and fun to sing along with on guitars. The Cadet Catholic Folk Group also maintains a close friendship with the Youth Group at Carlisle Barracks. Annually, the teens g from Carlisle enjoy a visit to it West Point for a football game and a picnic with the cadets in the Folk Group. The Catholic Catechists vol- unteer their time to teach reli- gious education to the children of the West Point Catholic community. The religious edu- cation program run by Ms. Catherine Heppes includes grades kindergarten through eighth grade. The cadet teach- ers group is coordinated by CIC CDT Carlos Blazquez and AClC's Eric Abonadi, John Parente, Thomas Aeillo, and Marcus Ftheinhart. The Catholic Sunday school program holds Sunday morning meetings at 0900 on the third floor of Thayer Hall. Fellowship of Christian Athletes stimulates interest in spiritual growth among athletes at USMA, especially through breakfasts and team huddles. Members take on the higher goal of presenting to atheletes and to coaches the challenge and adventure of being a follower and servant of Jesus Christ . Every other Thursday during the academic year, FCA holds its morning prayer breakfasts at 0615 in the Regimental Dining Room of the Cadet Mess. Typical guest speakers for such breakfasts include members of the USMA faculty and coaching staff. There are also well known speakers brought in from outside the Acad- emy. FCA also sponsors team huddles. The FCA huddle is a group of athletes on any USMA team which meets for the purpose of Bible study, prayer, and mutual spiritual support. Some huddles meet on Tuesday evening and some before a game or on other appropriate occasions convenient to the group. . 7 :w s 5 fafam. f si lit -.2 a t ., 1 t es G ' H ,-3343 .
