Finishing the Semester with Faith, Joy, & Community!

Even as the semester came to a close, the fun and excitement at the Newman Center didn’t slow down. Thanks to your generosity, students were able to end the semester strong while growing in faith and community leading up to Christmas!

Student Christmas Party

The last week of classes ended with a Christmas Party! During this joyful event, the students came together in community, ate some festive treats, and watched a variety show put on by their peers. By coming to this event, the students were able to get take a break from the stress of school and reconnect with their friends one last time before heading home.

Teaching Mass

Right after Thanksgiving break, our students had the opportunity to attend a Teaching Mass presided by Father Mike. It can be easy to get lost in everything that happens in the Mass, but taking each part step by step in this kind of Mass helps to truly understand each part and appreciate the beauty of the Mass.

Reconciliation Service

Even with the students juggling the busy season of Advent and the semester winding down, they were able to come for a peaceful night of Adoration and Reconciliation. Doing so allowed them to open their hearts to the Advent season and not get lost in everything that was grabbing their attention, centering their focus back on the Lord.

On the Horizon

Even though the Newman Center has been quiet over winter break, we’re looking ahead to exciting things! At the start of January, 75 of our students will be traveling to SEEK26 and SEEK+, a week-long Catholic conference specifically for college students. These conferences will help the students enter joyfully into the new year on fire for their faith!

Support the Ministry!

Your generosity helps us offer retreats, outreach events, daily sacraments, annual conferences, and more to college students in the Duluth area. Each of these events work as a bridge to offer the truth of the Gospel message to young adults. Thank you for making that possible!

Another way to support us is through your prayers. Here are some of our intentions we are offering for our ministry this month:

  • For all of the students attending SEEK26 and SEEK+ may be inspired and discover God’s agape love for them.
  • That the students have a restful break with family and friends.
  • So that during this season we are inspired by Christ’s joy and love along with remembering the true meaning of Christmas.
