SUBSCRIPTIONS

Newman now has subscriptions to America, U.S. Catholic, and One. They are found on the table in the center of the Religious Life office. Please do not remove them from the Center. The articles are readable and deal with current American Catholic issues. The purpose of the subscriptions is to help Newman students become aware of our Catholic intellectual tradition.
