Second in a series on the Bishop's Appeal
By Joanne Flemming
Compass Correspondent
Campus ministries at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay and the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh provide students with both a Catholic presence and opportunities to grow in their faith. Campus ministry is among the many programs and services funded by the annual Bishop's Appeal.
"We try to let students know that there is a Catholic presence at UWGB," said Laurie Svatek, full-time campus minister. Studies show that students who say campus ministry had a positive influence on them, say it was because of "personal contact," she said.
Joseph Rutchik, a UWO graduate student, said he was aware of the Newman Center's "presence" beginning with his freshman year because it was across the street from his dormitory. "I figured I had no excuse for skipping Mass," he said. "So I started attending and I haven't stopped since."
For Jenny Johns, a 2004 UWO graduate, that "presence" allowed her to "sit with Jesus" between classes. "I loved how the doors were open to come and go as you pleased during the day.... It was there that my faith started to explode. There was new meaning in my life. The Newman Center is where I found my faith." Full story ...
