Because of the University winter break schedule, REY classes will resume on January 24th rather than on the sched-uled date. Many of our catechists are students and we’d like to give them a chance to return and get settled. Winter Weather is bound to come sometime. If the weather outside is frightful, please check our website www.newmanumass.org to see if classes have been cancelled.
