The spring 2020 semester at ValpoCatholic

was a semester filled with adapting to the

changing world during this pandemic of

COVID-19! While campuses across the globe

shut down, ValpoCatholic moved virtual to

continue to provide ministry to its students.

Peer Ministers provide weekly video and

written reflections for social media, student

leaders lead virtual rosary groups, and

missionaries lead multiple bible studies and

hangouts over platforms like Google Hangouts

and WebEx! The entire campus ministry team

has learned to adapt to these changing times

and overcome the obstacles that this time of

social distancing provides.

A group of 17 students traveled to two different

Native American tribes in Winnebago and Macy,

Nebraska with Hope of the Poor. During their time

there, they were able to enter into life and

relationship with the community, while they were

in the midst of crisis. The time was filled with

service, Mass, and adoration. Each evening was

spent sharing a meal and sharing highs, lows, and

God moments with each other, along with

listening to various talks given by our FOCUS

missionaries and Fr. Chris. The mission was filled

with true joy and ultimately ignited the students'

hearts to desire to encounter Christ in the

distressing disguise of the poor.

WINTER RETREAT &MISSION TRIP

Before the COVID-19 pandemic

began, twenty five students

attended the Winter Retreat titled

"Wanted". The weekend was filled

with Mass, adoration, confession,

talks from students and

missionaries, and plenty of free

time! The retreat was focused on

Christ's love and mercy poured out

for each and every beloved son and

daughter of God! This was the

highest student attended retreat in

years!
