Dear young men and women, in Christ you find fulfilled your every desire for goodness and happiness. He alone can satisfy your deepest longings, which are so often clouded by deceptive worldly promises. As Saint John Paul II said: “He is the beauty to which you are so attracted; it is he who provokes you with that thirst for fullness that will not let you settle for compromise; it is he who urges

you to shed the masks of a false life; it is he who reads in your hearts your most genuine choices, the choices that others try to stifle. It is Jesus who stirs in you the desire to do something great with your lives” -Pope Francis, January 31, 2015, Message for 30th World Youth Day

We had some incredible growth again this year with student involvement, thanks in large part to our amazing and dedicated FOCUS missionaries and our faithful student leaders who have become great evangelizers as well! Continue praying that the Holy Trinity keeps touching students’ hearts and bringing them to Themselves and Their Church.

A 20th Anniversary for Fr. Luke Meyer

Please join us in giving thanks to God for the priestly ministry of Fr. Luke Meyer, who served as Pastor of St. Thomas Aquinas Newman Center, as he marks the 20th anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood.

Fr. Luke will celebrate an Anniversary Mass at his current parish, Sts. Anne and Joachim in Fargo, at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, June 3rd, followed by a simple picnic in the parish picnic shelter. Anyone from the Newman Center community who wishes to make the trip to Fargo is most welcome to attend.

Above all, please keep Fr. Luke in your prayers — in thanksgiving for twenty years of faithful priestly service, and in petition for many fruitful years still to come.

Father had the Calvary North Cemetery Memorial Day Mass today. It lined up well with the feast of Mary, Mother of the Church. Given to us, her children, in the moment of her Son’s salvific death on the Cross (John 19:26-27), and in a special way at Pentecost as well as she prayed in the Upper Room with the Apostles (Acts 1:14). Just as Mary grieved for her Son with hope in His ability to overcome death, we grieve for our loved ones and military personnel, who have died in the hope of resurrection for them. Mary, Mother of the Church, both living and dead…pray for us.
