We're Back!

Dear Friends,

Our campus will be open tomorrow (Sunday, April 21).  From the umassd.edu:

- Students are welcome to return to campus to access their cars or participate in athletics starting at 9 a.m.

-- UMass Dartmouth residence halls will re-open at noon.

-- Transportation for students staying at the Best Western Hotel will begin at 11 a.m.

-- Campus dining will re-open at noon.

-- We will have a call center open on Sunday from 8 a.m. until 7 p.m. to answer any questions or concerns you have about returning to campus. Please call 508-999-8000 with your questions.

Also, the Religious Resource Center and the Counseling Center will be open for students who wish to speak with somebody.  I will be there all day and Pastor Neil will be in for part of the day.  Also feel free to stop by just to say hi.  It will be great to see you and talk face to face instead of just Facebook and email communication!

The 1PM Mass will not take place due to staffing concerns for the RRC and being available for returning students.  Mass will be celebrated at 7PM.  We invite you to join us in the Reflection Room as we gather as a community to pray for our community.

Keep checking here or the Campus Ministry Facebook page throughout the week for further information and resources.

This is a very busy week for everybody without the stress of the last few days.  Please know that Sr. Madeleine and I are here to be a resource for you as well as all the faculty and staff.  We are a community, members of a community help one another, not just during the crisis but in the aftermath as well.  Please make use of this community around you in these days and weeks ahead.

Peace,
Fr. David
