At the University of Minnesota Duluth, hundreds of college students are choosing to follow Christ in the middle of campus life. The Newman Center is where that transformation happens every day. In a world where many young people drift from faith in college, students at UMD are discovering it anew. Through Mass, Bible studies, retreats, and community, bulldogCatholic is helping them live their faith with courage and joy—and carry it far beyond campus.

This spring, we’ll gather in the Twin Cities for an evening hosted by Fr. Mike Schmitz, to come together in gratitude and support the ongoing work of Catholic campus ministry. We can’t wait to share all that is happening on campus today and how your support directly impacts students’ lives.

All funds raised will support our annual operating budget, ensuring we can continue to serve and accompany the students who walk through our doors each day.

We can’t wait build a strong and vibrant future of faith in Duluth!
