Beginning the New Year in Faith!

As Winter Break came to a close, the fun and excitement at the Newman Center began again! Thanks to your generosity, students were able to start the New Year strong while growing in faith and community leading up to the start of the new semester!

SEEK26

We rang in the New Year with about 80 of our students at SEEK26 in Columbus, Ohio! During this weeklong conference, 17,000 Catholics came together to encounter Christ, grow in authentic community, and be transformed in their faith.

SEEK+

Immediately following SEEK26, our students had the opportunity to rest and reconnect as a campus with SEEK+ in Detroit, Michigan. Our students had time to pray, reflect in small groups, visit local churches, and spend a fun night at an arcade! Many thanks to our generous donors who made this memorable experience possible!

Get Back Kick Back

Back in Duluth, we celebrated the new semester with our annual Get Back Kick Back event at Skyline. Around 130 students joined us on their day off to enjoy the arcade, bowling, and pizza.

bulldogCatholic Fundraising Banquet Coming to St. Paul, MN

This spring, we will gather in the Twin Cities for an evening to celebrate what God is doing through the UMD students and to strengthen the ministry that serves them. We are seeking sponsors who will make the event possible and help sustain the daily work of forming disciples here. Sponsorships are limited. You may secure your sponsorship at the banquet webpage, by February 15th, 2026. Thank you for your support!

Seeds of Faith Update

Seeds of Faith is Fr. Mike’s capital campaign to build a Newman Center at the University of Minnesota in Duluth. We believe this will have both a local and global impact on our Catholic faith. Here is a visual update on the project!

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 who attended SEEK26 and SEEK+, that their encounter with Christ may propel them to live out their faith in a deeper way this year.
  • For new and returning students, that they may be drawn into relationship with Christ and know of His love for them.
  • For the students who have signed up for our Upperclassmen Retreat at the end of this month.
