Freshmen Encounter 
The original Diocesan Freshman Encounter Event, with all freshmen across the Diocese of Lincoln, was not able to take place due to spacing restrictions. Thanks to Jeff Schinstock, Youth Minister of the Lincoln Diocese, individual schools had the opportunity to have their own Freshman Encounter Event. On Sept. 16, Aquinas Freshman were able to have a great retreat with talks, college students leading small group discussion, prayer, Eucharistic Adoration, and Mass.
This retreat was held at Assumption Parish in Dwight, Nebraska.
