Welcome Back

September 18, 2010
Hi everybody and welcome back to a new school year. As you may know, Catholic Campus Ministry has undergone some changes over the summer. Fr. Gerry and Jen are no longer with us, but we have been blessed with the presence of Fr. Ed in their absence. He will be our new Catholic Campus Minister. He will be on campus on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and will offer Mass these two days at 12:15PM. Please drop by to meet Fr. Ed and say hello.
