INCLEMENT WEATHER REMINDERS

*When weather conditions result in the early dismissal of students from Lodi Schools, all religious education and youth ministry activities are automatically cancelled for that particular day.

*When weather conditions require the cancellation of R.E. classes, although public school classes are dismissed at the regular time, a determination of such cancellation will be made whenever possible by 2:00 p.m. That being the case, we will contact the Lodi Public Schools, we will notify all catechetical volunteers for the effected classes, and we will post an announcement on our parish website.

*When weather conditions require the cancellation of weekend classes and activities, such a notice will be added to the parish website no later than one hour prior to the start of the class or activity.
