As most of you know, we have been in the process of rebranding. In light of this, our website and office staff emails will shift from “umncatholic.org” to “gophercatholic.org” effective immediately. If you type in "umncatholic.org" you will be redirected to "gophercatholic.org". In the same manner, if you email an office staff members old email, they will still receive it.
