Every Tuesday evening at 8 p.m. during the academic year, the Buckeye Catholic student group (BCAT) gathers for prayer, fellowship, and a talk about faith, often led by students. 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! Also, check out the BCAT facebook group: Buckeye Catholic Community 2021-22. For more information, please email buckeyecatholics@gmail.com.

Newman Center Pals
Newman Center Pals is a ministry organized by our Peer Minister for Campus Outreach, Bonnie Thibault. This ministry provides an opportunity for upperclassmen to serve as both a friend and mentor to underclassmen, especially new students and incoming freshmen. Fellowship, support, and a sense of belonging is crucial for students to come together to build up the Body of Christ on our campus as Buckeye Catholics. Through Newman Center Pals, one upperclassman will be paired with one underclassman. 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 Campus Outreach, Bonnie Thibault will provide guidance as well as various opportunities for Newman Center Pals to come together throughout the year. For more info or questions, please contact Bonnie at thibault.21@buckeyemail.osu.edu.
Bible Study Small Groups
Join a weekly Bible study or small faith sharing group! This is a great way to connect on a deeper level with your faith and grow with peers in lasting friendship. It’s also a great channel to get connected to the larger Catholic community and the many opportunities to grow in faith and leadership. This student bible study initiative is achieved in collaboration with SPO (Saint Paul's Outreach) and FOCUS. For more info or questions, please contact Fr. Evan Cummings at ecummings@buckeyecatholic.com.
