Well, the academic year is in full swing now here at PSU and we so are the programs at the St. Pius X Newman Center.  We had a great week      with all of the back-to-school activities last week, and we are looking forward to more fun to come.  This week, we will begin the Bible Study of the Gospel of Matthew on Thursday Night, which promises to be an exciting and informative time as we go deeper into the Gospel of Matthew to understand how Christ established His Kingdom.  Also, coming up on September 18th, Family Day, we will host a tailgate at the Newman Center before the football game against Central Missouri for all of the students and their families.  This event promises to be a great time for all!  And on Friday September 24th and Saturday September 25th, we will hold our Back-to-School Retreat at Five Mile camp in Quapaw, Oklahoma.  This retreat is open to all students and registration will begin soon for this retreat.  Our activities will include a ropes course, horseback riding, canoeing and swimming, among other things.  This social retreat will be a good time to step away from studies for a few days and have some fun with friends from the Newman Center.  I'm looking forward to it and I hope to have a good turn out for the retreat.  And in addition to all of this, there is the regular everyday fun of hanging out at the Newman Center, which is always a good time!  May God bless you all and please keep the Newman Center in your prayers!

Peace,

Fr. Adam Keiter

"If we really loved the good God, we should make it our joy and happiness to come and spend a few moments to adore Him, and ask Him for the grace of forgiveness; and we should regard those moments as the happiest of our lives." - St. John Vianney

We have begun Thursday Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament from 10 am to 3 pm in the chapel of the Newman Center.  If you are interested in spending some time with the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament, you may sign up below, or in the Newman Center Lounge.  Thank you.

Check out these pics from the Newman Club Officer Retreat at the Greenbush ropes course.  A fun time was had by all and everyone made it to the top of the Pamper Pole and Zip Line...although it took some a little more time than others.

Have you ever wondered why the Newman Center is called a "Newman Center," or where the name comes from? Our namesake is Cardinal John Henry Newman, one of the most influential converts to the Catholic Church, and one of the most astute minds of the Catholic Tradition. He willl be beatified by Pope Benedict XVI on September 19, 2010 in Birmingham, England.
