Welcome back

Inviting students to the Catholic Newman Center

It is the beginning of a new year here at South Dakota State University; spirits are high as we prerpare for the flow of incoming students! Last night we put on our first Newman Center Bash, inviting hundreds of students to join. We had a great turn out and many new freshmen were asked into bible studies. This year we will be having 36 bible studies, a huge increase from 18 last year. I truly feel as though Our Lord is going to bless the campus abundantly this year! I was happy to see all the familiar faces from last year at mass this morning, along with many others....it's a beautiful thing to see our young adults making Christ the center of their lives. May Our Lord continue to bless us so that we may have the grace to be Christ to others, to share our faith, and bring all to the fullness of Truth.

"I came to you in weakness and fear and much trembling, and my message and my  proclamation were not with persuasive words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of spirit and power, so that your faith might rest not on human wisdom but on the power of God." (1 Cor. 2:3-5)
