Several Catholic Biblical School campuses, including the St. Thomas Seminary home campus, are without power, and downed power lines continue to make travel unsafe for most Connecticut residents.
"Snow relays" for all CBS classes have been activated, but bear in mind that many telephones (including the CBS office phone) are not in service. Students and grads should make every reasonable effort to contact their small-group members. If a phone number is out of service, please skip ahead on the phone tree, calling the next person on the list--but please also continue, at intervals, to try to contact the individual you've skipped.
In preparation for classes next week (November 7-11, 2011), all students need to prepare Lessons 1.8 and 1.9 in their student workbooks, and should bring both these homework assignments with them to class next week.
Faculty members have agreed to cover both the missed lesson (1.9) and conduct a review of the Unit material next week. Unit "memory exercises" will take place as previously scheduled, November 14-18, 2011.
As indicated on the CBS calendar (online at http://www.orehartford.org/), no classes are scheduled during the Thanksgiving holiday week, with the exception of the Year 2 class on Monday, November 21, at Epiphany Parish in Cheshire. Classes will then resume November 28, 2011. (God willing.)
