First Year Students! Mark you calendars for Saturday, Jan. 30 from 9 a.m. - 1 p.m.! The New Beginnings 1.5 Retreat is an exciting NEW retreat experience for first year students, created especially this year as we continue to live through campus life during the COVID-19 pandemic. Now more than ever, we need the support of community and faith filled friendships. This experience was created to allow space for first year students to come together in fellowship with other first year students for fun, to re-center in faith, and to get more connected to the Catholic community!

Sole Pursuit: Buckeye Catholic Students Pursuing Wisdom in Times of Confusion!
Sole Pursuit is a Spring 2021 semester long Bible study and discussion open to all students with a rolling admission. Throughout the semester, students will meet virtually once a week on Monday’s at 8 p.m. to begin a journey through the book of Proverbs. The entire idea behind this unique Bible study is for the individual student to dig deeper into the roots of their own lives and set their eyes on Jesus as a reminder for the sole pursuit of our own souls, Heaven, so that they may grow, not with the world, but with Jesus as their example. This small group opportunity is for students looking to open themselves up to learning about wisdom, focusing on Jesus & His gift of life, and making sense of confusing times, especially in college life during the pandemic. Sign up for this small group experience here!

Every Tuesday evening at 7:45 p.m. the Buckeye Catholic student group (BCAT) gathers for prayer, fellowship, and a student led talk about faith. 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. Currently, during these pandemic times, this event will be virtually hosted by the BCAT Team from the Newman Center with small group time and fellowship over Zoom. Register for BCAT here to gain access to the weekly Zoom gathering! Also, check out the BCAT facebook group: Buckeye Catholic Community 2020-21

Newman Center Pals
Newman Center Pals is a ministry organized by our Peer Minister for Social Events, Bonnie Thibault. This ministry provides and opportunity for upperclassmen to serve as both a friend and mentor to underclassmen, especially new students and incoming freshmen. Fellowship and guidance is crucial, especially during these Pandemic times, for students to come together to build up the Body of Christ. Through Newman Center Pals, one upperclassman (3rd years & up) will be paired with one underclassman (1st & 2nd years). There is also a special cohort option for upper classman (3rd years & up) who are looking to get more connected to the Catholic community. Once the Newman Center Pals meet their pair, they are able to grow in a friendship centered around the love of God. Our Peer Minister for Social Events, Bonnie Thibault will provide guidance as well as various opportunities for Newman Center pals to come together. For more info or questions, please contact Bonnie at thibault.21@buckeyemail.osu.edu. To register for Newman Center pals during the Spring 2021 semester, please fill out this registration form.
