Welcome from Father Alex!
Greetings from the wolfpack land!
This is a very exciting time of the year, especially as we have entered the middle of our fall semester. The warm days are little by little disappearing and the trees have begun to lose their leaves. Yes, it is definitively fall.
I'm glad that I have seen so many new and excited faces on campus, and I hope that as the semester continues to get busier you still continue coming to join us at Catholic Campus Ministry at the Doggett Center, and in other places where we are present. We offer several opportunities to develop spiritually, grow through service, and find companionship with fellow students. And there is something to do for everyone: retreats, socials, service opportunities, spiritual formation, liturgies and Sunday Masses. At The Doggett Center we also have a beautiful chapel for when you need some quiet time with God, a huge kitchen, and a study place with a small library.
However, Doggett Center is more than a building and activities. We want to be your family. That is why we constanly strive to provide new ways for involvment and development.
We started our semester with a our hands and mouths full of food at our annual "pig pickin," and it was an absolutely awesome event. It was wonderful to see so many people at Doggett Center. Thanks to all who helped to provide a delicious home cooked meal and an amazing and fun time.
Our student nights have been a blast. We gather every Wednesday at Doggett Center to share a time of worship, fellowship, educational moments or just fun. We have had regularly between 30-35 students each night.
Every night of the week there is usually something to look forward to. Besides our Student Nights on Wednesday, every Monday we have our now very popular "Faith on Tap;" on Tuesdays, we meet to have our RCIA classes, Thursdays is for Bible Study and every day of the week a group of student meet to pray the rosary.
There are many other events or activities we have enjoyed doing this year, activities that go from social involvement with the local community, small faith groups, recreation, retreats, etc. I encourage you to keep looking for information about our upcoming events and activities. Our website updates very often. I think that it is attractive and user-friendly.
Again on behalf of everyone at the Catholic Campus Ministry at NCSU, we wish you peace and joy in your lives! Feel free to stop by and find out about us for yourself. You are always welcome and we'll have either a cookie, ice cream or a whole meal waiting for you.
God Bless you!!!
