Feed the hungry. This command is both a corporal work of mercy, and a necessity of college ministry. Students are hungry. But they aren't just hungry for food.
Clare, one of our FOCUS missionaries, realized that one of the many things students miss while at school is the chance to eat and talk with others. Breakfast might be a protein bar, eaten while walking to class. Lunch a sub sandwich eaten over a laptop. Dinner some frozen pizza with Netflix. Food is easy to come by; but family is scarce.
So Clare started "Family Dinners" here at the Newman Center. For the last several weeks, students have gathered on Sunday nights to share a meal with each other. Just like family dinners at home, they pray, eat, and laugh together.

Newman students love to dance. And for the first time in a long time, they had a chance to do so with the Newman Center. Our Social Chairs, Abby, Aaron, Ben, and Allie, organized a Formal for all the students of undCatholic. The dance was held on Feb. 21st at the Gorecki Alumni Center. Ties were tied, dresses steamed, and Father Luke even dusted off his biretta.
Thank you to our Social Chairs for planning the event. And thanks to all those who made it a success.
