Robert SpitzerHOST
So there's all kinds of ways you can do that.
Robert SpitzerHOST
And, you know, a lot of people, you know, who are at state schools do work with their Newman Centers.
Robert SpitzerHOST
That's their Catholic University Campus Ministry Center.
Robert SpitzerHOST
Or, you know, sometimes they're just called the Catholic Student Center.
Robert SpitzerHOST
and they're not called Newman Centers, but you might look around for where that's possible.
Robert SpitzerHOST
The diocese, even if it doesn't have a chapter of a Newman Center or a Catholic Student Center, oftentimes there's a place where the diocese is designated where the students can go to churches nearby to the university, and they do have... you know, all kinds of prayer services, as well as, of course, Mass, but student activities.
Robert SpitzerHOST
And oftentimes, focus missionaries, they're no longer working for focus, but they continue doing Catholic activities at the campus or something.
Fulton MarieGUEST
So I, um, I then went off to college in, um, a, a f- like, I don't know, 45 minutes away or so, um, at a state school studying education.
Fulton MarieGUEST
And, um, at my Newman Center, there were religious sisters there as well.
MiriamHOST
Wow.
Fulton MarieGUEST
Not our community.
Devin HalfordGUEST
Yeah.
Devin HalfordGUEST
Like in my time in Philadelphia, the Newman Center out there was just seeing more and more over the course of several years.
Devin HalfordGUEST
Yeah.
Devin HalfordGUEST
A lot of young people that are very interested in the faith and are exploring it.
21 MINS LATER
Devin HalfordGUEST
Because I had always assumed religion... religious people were brainwashed.
Devin HalfordGUEST
And so like that I would be brainwashed, but like, no, it was just the complete free invitation.
Devin HalfordGUEST
And so that leads me to me going to mass for the first time ever, the university, Utah Newman center, go there.
Devin HalfordGUEST
They have this beautiful choir.
Dylan ReinhartGUEST
There was a student at SDSU who was a, a communications and broadcasting major, and he had reached out, got connections with RPR, but he was a little scared to host.
Dylan ReinhartGUEST
And we were in the basement of the Newman Center up in Brookings, South Dakota.
Dylan ReinhartGUEST
And sitting down with students and getting them on live radio, sharing their testimony, sharing what they're doing with their faith, I feel like that'll always be etched in my memory because these college students would come in- You know, they don't know what they're getting into.
Dylan ReinhartGUEST
They're on live radio, they're nervous.
Aaron BoschHOST
Absolutely.
Aaron BoschHOST
And we...
Aaron BoschHOST
Uh, you know, it's so wonderful to go to all the Newman centers.
Aaron BoschHOST
I mean, that...
Amy JulianHOST
and so the last um four years now i've been at saint joseph before that for eight years i was at the diocese of rapid city as the director of family life ministry and then i saw what father kevin was doing here at the saint joseph parish and just the way the holy spirit was moving and he asked me one day would you ever consider coming back to work for the parish and I just got this, you know, that Holy Spirit, you know, bumps and chills, you know, that I was like, you know what, actually, I think that's where God's calling me.
Amy JulianHOST
So it's such a privilege to be able to work directly with the parishioners and the, you know, the people that I spent the last 25 years of my life with and the people who have been such a big part of my own faith formation journey and to be able to have the opportunity to give back to them and to just be witness to the way that the church is growing, you know, here in our area, Spearfish, Belfouche, the Newman Center.
Amy JulianHOST
Um, we just started our OCIA class and we have over 30 candidates this year, which for us is huge.
speaker_6SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Yeah.
Amy JulianHOST
Not unusual.
Amy JulianHOST
I agree.
Amy JulianHOST
Yeah, we're talking to somebody who was saying for those big Newman centers, you know, around the country, that if you have less than 100 people in your OCIA class, you're doing something wrong.
Amy JulianHOST
And I'm like, what? Whoa.
Susie EckbergGUEST
Well, I was blessed to go to eight years of Catholic elementary school at St. Pius V in Jamaica, New York, where I grew up.
Susie EckbergGUEST
And I've been involved with Newman Club in high school and college.
Susie EckbergGUEST
Sure.
Kami BrechtelHOST
So was it a tremendous gift to start receiving and hearing about Catholic teaching on Catholic radio.
Courtney RoachHOST
I see photos of freshmen.
Courtney RoachHOST
I follow the Newman Center from the University of Wisconsin where I was a missionary.
Courtney RoachHOST
And I see the freshmen holding the like, Mom, I went to mass.
Courtney RoachHOST
And it's like my freshman year photo.
Carol MarceauGUEST
[laughs] But, um, I, I think the first things that I experienced were a lot of that, the Focus model of win, build, send, a lot of winning.
Carol MarceauGUEST
You know, it was a lot of, oh, come to this event at the Newman Center in Lincoln, and we'll have, you know, waffles, or we'll have community night and all of these food and friends and, and different fun things going on.
Carol MarceauGUEST
And got involved in a Bible study that was within my dorm building, so I got to meet people in my residence hall, um, and got to know other women through that process.
Carol MarceauGUEST
My Bible study leader was another student at that point, um, who also went on to work for Focus, and I actually think still does And she was wonderful.
Carol MarceauGUEST
It was getting involved and making friends and then starting to find myself wanting more access to the, the cool students, the ones that were-
Chris DamianHOST
Hmm
Carol MarceauGUEST
... involved and in the in group at the Newman Center in Lincoln.
Carol MarceauGUEST
It's a, a very large student center, so there's definitely different pockets of people.
Whitney MeserveGUEST
That's like making sure she knows the truth of life.
Whitney MeserveGUEST
You know, her, she attended mass there at Murray in the Newman Center.
Whitney MeserveGUEST
She actually starts her Bible study tomorrow night with them.
Whitney MeserveGUEST
And like, that's what I keep telling her, surround yourself by people who continually believe invest in your life, especially when it comes to your faith.
