Letter from the Bishop

Dear UMD Newman Center and Stella Maris Academy Communities,
Greetings in these first days of the Autumn season!

It is with great joy that I announce that Fr. Sekhar Dasari, one of our international priests, is being appointed Associate Chaplain to the Newman Center and Stella Maris Academy, effective October 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024. Fr. Sekar will live at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Rosary rectory.

Along with Fr. Mike Schmitz at the Newman Center and Fr. Ben Hadrich at Stella Maris Academy High School, Fr. Sekhar will help with the spiritual and sacramental needs of the students and staff. He will also assist with faith formation and the pastoral needs of students, families and staff at the Newman Center and Stella Maris Academy.

Fr. Sekhar is from India. He was ordained a priest in 2018 and since that time has served as a Principal and Headmaster of Catholic Schools in his home diocese.

He is very excited to have this assignment and looks forward to bringing the healing, hope and love of Jesus to all he encounters and accompanies.

Please welcome Fr. Sekhar as he joins your communities.
May God shower His blessings upon you,

Bishop Daniel J. Felton

Diocese of Duluth

We choose our rivals. We are all confronted with the temptation towards resentment, when we see the blessings or gifts that others have. This temptation towards envy can be overcome when we choose to receive the gifts we’ve been given with gratitude, and choose to rejoice in the gift of others. If you would like to support Ascension Presents, send us a Super Chat / Super Sticker in the chatbox or send us a financial gift ( https://tinyurl.com/2mbu7tvx ). Your support helps us provide you with the Catholic faith formation media you know and love. Thank you! If you would also like to make a donation to the Newman Catholic Campus Ministries at the University of Minnesota Duluth, you can donate here: https://bulldogcatholic.org/donate/ Finally, we also ask you to continue supporting your local parishes.
