UND Catholic

Congrats to undCatholic alum, Father Garrett Aberle, who was ordained a priest for our Diocese earlier today and vested by one of our former pastors, Fr. Luke Meyer! Blessings on his priesthood and ministry in the Diocese of Fargo. 🙏🏻

Congrats to our own undCatholic alum, Jack Metzger (on the right), who is now a FOCUS Missionary for the Akron Zips at the University of Akron in Ohio!

Keep Jack in your prayers as he trains this summer and transitions to Akron.

We have new FOCUS Missionaries!

Here are some more stats in regard to student involvement at undCatholic!

We had some incredible growth again this year with student involvement, thanks in large part to our amazing and dedicated FOCUS missionaries and our faithful student leaders who have become great evangelizers as well! Continue praying that the Holy Trinity keeps touching students’ hearts and bringing them to Themselves and Their Church.

A 20th Anniversary for Fr. Luke Meyer

Please join us in giving thanks to God for the priestly ministry of Fr. Luke Meyer, who served as Pastor of St. Thomas Aquinas Newman Center, as he marks the 20th anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood.

Fr. Luke will celebrate an Anniversary Mass at his current parish, Sts. Anne and Joachim in Fargo, at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, June 3rd, followed by a simple picnic in the parish picnic shelter. Anyone from the Newman Center community who wishes to make the trip to Fargo is most welcome to attend.

Above all, please keep Fr. Luke in your prayers — in thanksgiving for twenty years of faithful priestly service, and in petition for many fruitful years still to come.
