Welcome
Hi! So, I want to take a second to welcome you to umdcatholic.org! While we want to make sure that you can find everything you need here, there is nothing quite like actually getting here and being a part of the Catholic community here at the University of Duluth.
The whole reason we exist is to bring the Gospel to every corner of life at UMD. Feel free to stop by the Newman House at any time and be a part of the many opportunities we offer. From almost daily Bible Studies, to Catholicism 101, to marriage preparation, we seek the Lord through study and knowledge. Through our daily Mass and Sunday Masses on campus, we strive to give glory to God through this and many other chances to pray. If there is anything we can do for you, please just ask!
