"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 in being on being an innovative center for the New Evangelization! 

Where You'll Find Us
Liturgies are held at Holy Spirit Parish. See the bottom right corner for mass times.   

Wednesday Night mass is held at the Newman Center at 9pm. 

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, please email me at zach@holyspiritstevenspoint.org. 

Retreats
There are two primary retreats for students each year:
* Nov. 3-4 we offer a preached retreat at the Newman Center beginning with dinner on Friday and concluding with lunch on Saturday. Watch for details and sign-up information coming soon.
* Feb. 18-22 we offer the Busy Student Retreat, which happens on-campus during the course of a normal week.
* Watch and listen for other possible retreat opportunities, as well as evenings of spiritual growth and renewal.

Christian Service
*Students prepare and serve dinner each Tuesday during the school year at our local Salvation Army Hope Center. To learn more, attend an orientation session at 5 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 12. Contact Zach Laughlin, our campus ministry director, for more information: zach@holyspiritstevenspoint.org 

 *Spring Break  (March  24-31) 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.
 * We may also invite students to visit our twinning parish in Haiti. Final plans have not been made yet. In the past, Point Catholic students have participated in service and awareness experiences in Haiti, Jamaica, Peru and Guatemala.


Women's Bible Study Mondays 7:30-8:30 PM
Men's Bible Study Thursday 7:30-8:30 Pm
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. Men's bible study begins Sept. 7. Women's Bible study begins Sept. 11.

Learning About Faith
Bible study and other opportunities to grow in faith are offered throughout the year. If you haven't been confirmed, we would be glad to help you prepare for and celebrate the sacrament. We also welcome Christian students from other denominations who might be interested in becoming Catholic.
