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). Point Catholic prides itself on being an innovative center for the New Evangelization! 

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
We are hosting an overnight, fall retreat at the end of October called Fully Alive. Fully Alive is an opportunity for students to step out the busyness of school and into a deeper relationship with God. The retreat will include testimony, ropes courses, confession, mass, and lots of fun!
It will be held at the Lions Camp in Rosholt, WI. The location has 440 acres of mostly wooded area. 

*The date: Oct. 26-28. The cost is $10. Please message zach@holyspiritstevenspoint.org if interested!

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
Franciscans Downtown
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.

Bible/Book Studies
We gather to study the scriptures in order to Rediscover Jesus and deepen our relationship with God. We do it in community so to discover more about ourselves and those with whom we share our faith. No need to sign up. Just show up at the Newman Center when school is in session. We offer both a men and women's bible study.

Women's Bible Study is on Monday @ 7pm
Men's Bible Study is on Thursday @ 7pm
Mere Christianity Study is on Wednesday @ 8pm (just before late night mass)

Learning About Faith
Bible study and other opportunities to grow in faith are offered throughout the year. For those who aren't Catholic or are Catholic, but haven't received all of the sacraments, we offer RCIA as parish. RCIA stands for RIte of Christian Initiation of Adults, which is the formal process of becoming an adult Catholic.

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