Could anyone tell me about this area a bit more? Someone told me that since the University is Catholic that the community around it is fairly catholic as well. Is this the case?

It's certainly not overt, if that is so. I'm sure there is a Catholic community, as there are in most places...we've lived here for several years, are not religious, and have found it no different from other areas we've lived in...

I'm with Leslie... I've lived here for 6 years and haven't found any overt Catholicism. In fact, the University's religious affiliation is very low key. The Catholic community that's here is more centered around the parish and longtime NoPo families rather than the university. And even that is just like any neighborhood religious organization with some people involved and plenty who aren't.

It's a great neighborhood to live in...

Friday, Nov 21 is Astor's annual PTA auction...this year with a new look. From 6:30-8:30, join us for light snacks,hot cider, and music by Max Zimmer while bidding on great items from local businesses.

Kung Fu Panda will be shown in the gym for the kiddos to enjoy...and we have some student teacher & parent volunteers to hang out with them.
