Disciples called to worship. Sent to serve.

Point Catholic is the rebranded name of the Newman Center, serving both UWSP and Mid State Technical College students. Point Catholic is a ministry of Holy Spirit Parish. 

We take great pride in treating each student as a unique child of God, and helping to form them to become disciples ready for the challenges of the 21st century. This takes on many different forms: from spiritual and sacramental formation, to engaging students in service with the broader community, bonding them with fellow students, social justice outreach, and ultimately, forming the whole person (mind, body, spirit).

We hope that by the time our students graduate, they are ready to live the Gospel out in the world, and be able to fully participate in the life of a parish. 

Location
Sunday mass is held at Holy Spirit Parish. Holy Spirit parish is located in the heart of campus, right beside the Dreyfus Center. The Newman Center is located just around the corner, across from the new science building.

Student Suppers
Student suppers are a way to build community as well as host an informational speaker. It is similar to "Theology On Tap," except with food substituted for alcohol. There are (5) student suppers each semester. Some scheduled speakers include Katie Prejean McGrady, who met with Pope Francis, and Eden Invitation, an outreach to the LGBTQ community. 

If you have any suggestions or questions, please email me at zach@holyspiritstevenspoint.org. 

Retreats
This February, we are hosting the Busy Student Retreat. The Busy Student Retreat is a five day experience, that happens on campus, at the Newman Center. While maintaining your daily schedule as a student, you are provided a space to meet with a spiritual director for (4) consectutive days, at your convenience! In the evening, our parishioners cook a meal and one of the spiritual directors preaches on a given subject. We have a lineup of religous sisters and priests. The BSR starts on Sunday night with a meal and ends on Thursday.

*The date of the Busy Student Retreat is Feb. 9--Feb. 13th. Please message zach@holyspiritstevenspoint.org if interested! 

We also host a retreat each fall, which is off campus! Check with us during the fall semester for more details!

Christian Service 
There are a number of different service opportunities for Christian service. We also encourage students to take initiative and start new ventures. Below are some some service opportunities. 

Salvation Army Hope Center

Wausau Community Warming Center

Spring Break
(March 15-25) offers students a chance to participate in the Christian Appalachian Project (CAP). Students travel to Kentucky to do minor construction, remodeling, roofing and repair on the homes of the poorest people in the United States living in the Appalachian region of Kentucky.

Please email me if you have any interest in attending at zach@holyspiritstevenspoint.org. We need to have our information in by the end of February!

Bible/Book Studies
At Point Catholic, we believe that is critical that you be formed in community. One way that we do this is through our Bible studies. Our Bible studies provide a warm, safe place to study the Word of God and share in reflection with peers.
 
We offer both a men and women's bible studies. Please see the times listed below!

Women's Bible Study is on Monday @ 7:30pm
Men's Bible Study is on Thursday @ 7:30pm

Learning About Faith

RCIA is held Tuesday nights, 6:30-8pm at the Newman Center. Please reach out to zach@holyspiritstevenspoint.org if you are interested!
