New Experiences & COnnections

Dear Newman Community,

Already our trip to Chicago for Campus Ministry Leadership Institute is off to a great start. As I shared last week, it's an excellent opportunity for the students going to experience a larger sense of church as they meet and connect with other young Catholics from colleges across the country. On our travel day to Chicago I realized it was also an opportunity for students to gain some practical life skills as well! One student had never flown before, another had not flown since she was seven years old.

​The hustle and bustle of announcements directing so many people as they hurriedly traveled in all directions seemed to be eye opening to the group. It was a good reminder that, as we often say in campus ministry, is more than about the knowledge and skills one gains in the classroom but also about life experiences that helps students encounter new places and people. Please continue to pray for us!
