Evening with the Sisters and the Melchizedek Project
On every second Wednesday of the month, there will be an “Evening with the Sisters” for young women, which will include learning about different charisms of religious communities and interacting with different orders of sisters! Alongside an “Evening with the Sisters,” Fr. Hahn, who has been helping at Mass at the Newman Center, will be starting the Melchizedek project. This is a spiritual discernment group that helps college-aged men consider a vocation to the Priesthood. It is based on the book “To Save A Thousand Souls” by Fr. Brett Brannen. All participants will enjoy a meal at each meeting and receive the book for free. They will also be starting every second Wednesday here at the Newman Center in the O’Brien conference room. Again, both events will be held simultaneously every second Wednesday of the month at 6:30pm. Please contact Sister Loretta at sloretta@buckeyecatholic.com or Fr. Hahn at whahn@columbuscatholic.org if you have any questions.

Weekly Student Events

Buckeye Catholic Student Nights - IGNITE

Every Tuesday evening at 8 p.m. during the academic year, the Buckeye Catholic community gathers for prayer, fellowship, and a talk about faith together at our student night called IGNITE. Many students gather each week to take a break from the busyness of daily life on campus to just be with others who share the same values, daily joys, and challenges.  Come anytime, and if you have not ever been, it's a great way to get connected to the Buckeye Catholic community, learn how to get involved, and make new friends!

Student Bible Studies

Hundreds of students gather in small bible study groups of about 4-10 students every week. This student bible study initiative is done in collaboration with SPO (Saint Paul's Outreach) and FOCUS. If you are interested in joining a Bible Study, please reach out to Pat Towles at patrick.towles@focus.org or Justine Fischer at justine.fischer@focus.org
