Student Spotlight
Mikayla Wolfe is sophomore at NDSU studying Human Development and Family Science. She is from Tioga, ND and is joining the Church this Easter! Please join us in prayer for her as she completes RCIA.

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

"The Newman Center helps me to uphold two things that are important for any college student: faith and a positive social community. Going to mass and adoration at the Newman Center is often the favorite part of my day, and I have never been surrounded by better friends in my whole life. I love St. Paul’s Newman Center, and am so grateful to God for allowing me to be a part of it."

bisonCatholic Week 2021
Every year the Newman Center hosts bisonCatholic week at the end of January to celebrate the conversion of St. Paul. This year we were able to have a week full social events and formation talks for the students.

On Sunday we celebrated Mass with Bishop Folda followed by the annual talent show at Holy Spirit. Tuesday we were able to have JohnMarc & Kelsey Skoch to come and speak for our Men's and Women's talks on January 26. Trent Horn was our keynote speaker on Wednesday speaking on Relativism at St. Anthony's and on Thursday with a Q & A. Students were able play cards and win prizes at casino night on Friday. Ending out the week was the much anticipated formal dinner on Saturday at Holy Spirit.

Missed the acts at the talent show? Check out the video below!

YOU are Changing Hearts and Changing Lives
Giving Hearts Day is ALMOST here!

Because YOU believe in the difference campus ministry makes, students at NDSU are able to encounter Christ through bisonCatholic.

Join us on Thursday, February 11 in supporting the Catholic faith at NDSU with a gift match. This means every dollar given to the Newman Center during Giving Hearts Day will be doubled until we meet the match!

By giving a gift on Giving Hearts Day, YOU are providing students the opportunity to go to weekly ministry events like Buckluck.
