Student Spotlight
Gabe Diaz is one of our student missionaries and leads a Bible study on campus. After this semester, he will be joining FOCUS as a missionary!

Here's what Gabe wanted to share about the Newman Center:

"I’ve made the mistake my entire life believing I was perfectly fine with where my relationship with God was. I’ve had several experiences that have periodically made this clear to me, and the Newman Center has been the most recent and profound foundation that had made me realize this. Through readily accessible access to the sacraments, genuine authentic friendships and a supportive and welcoming community I have grown more in my faith in the past year than I have in my entire life."

SEEK in Fargo
Over 180 students, priests, and missionaries from NDSU, UND, and Northern State University were able to attend SEEK21 in Fargo. During the conference students were able to hear from some of the best Catholic speakers, celebrate Mass, go to confession, and have fellowship with one another. 

Here's what one of our students wanted to share about SEEK21:

“Do you ever feel like you were at the right place at the exact time you needed to be there? That was SEEK21 for me, as it was the first time I truly heard God speak to me. SEEK21 changed my outlook on my faith and opened my eyes to a whole new world. I am so thankful."   - Grace, NDSU junior

Giving Hearts Day Update!
On Giving Hearts Day the Newman Center was able to raise $98,828 for campus ministry at NDSU, go bison!

Thank you for your generous support! Because of you, the students at NDSU are able to encounter Christ through campus ministry and weekly events like Buckluck. Thank you for helping the Newman Center be a home away from home for our young people.
NDSU Students John and Asher are able to attend weekly events like Buckluck because of YOU!
Ash Wednesday Mass on Campus
On Ash Wednesday the Newman Center was able to have two Masses, one at the Newman Center and one in the Memorial Union. Over 250 students were able to attend Mass and join us as we begin lent.

This year students are able to join a Lenten Bible study, participate in the consecration to St. Joseph, or take part in the many Lenten devotions. See what the students are up to with the link below.
