Aloha! Welcome to CSA! Although a relatively small group of students, we are very proud to say that we have been growing in numbers and have growing closer and closer as a family. We are planning many different events this year so stay in touch! If you have any questions, then feel free to ask Father Hal in person or by email (hweidner@wesleyan.edu) or just ask any of the following fellow Catholics whenever or wherever around school.
