praise God for a successful pilgrimage, and thank you to all who joined us, those who worked to orchestrate everything, and finally to those who kept us in their prayers🤍

it’s TEAM MEMBER TUESDAY!!

Addy is a senior from Dell Rapids, South Dakota, double majoring in Psychology and Catholic Studies. A little known fact about Addy is that she sneezes when she eats dark chocolate or minty gum!

Addy is a member of our Liturgy Crew, and is in charge of scheduling and coordinating all the roles for our Masses on campus.

“My favorite part of being on the UMin team is being able to be someone who creates a space for others to enter into their relationship with Jesus. I love the hidden nature of our work, especially being a sacristan. (I love too much about the team to pick one thing!) I love meeting with the team and sharing our joys of the week; it allows me to see into each of their hearts. I am constantly edified by the way they love this campus.”

Addy is a two-year UMin veteran, and will be deeply missed after she graduates. We thank her for all that she has done for UMin during her time on the team!!

it’s TEAM MEMBER TUESDAY!!

Zach is a junior from Mendota Heights, Minnesota, double majoring in Dramatic Arts and Accounting, and minoring in Finance & Banking Services. Zach loves movies, and once got to work on a professional film set for six weeks. This same movie is premiering in two weeks!

Zach is a member of our Outreach Crew on UMin, and helps to run the sound systems for all of our outreach events. This involves setting up audio equipment, checking the gains, volume, and EQ for each audio channel, and communicating with musicians at our various events to make sure that they have what they need. He also monitors sound during our events, to make sure that everything runs smoothly!

“My favorite part of UMin is the team. From working with the outreach crew on each of the events we put on, to hanging out with all of the UMin team, I love working with all of them. As the year is wrapping up, I will miss working with all of them!”

a massive thanks to Zach for all that he does for University Ministry!

“Or are you unaware that we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were indeed buried with him through baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might live in newness of life.”
- Romans 6:3-4

A very joyful Easter morning Mass, celebrating the resurrection of the Lord, and our brothers who were newly received into the Church!
