MOORHEAD CATHOLIC CAMPUS MINISTRIES (mccm)
A Ministry of St. Joseph's Parish Community
MCCM is based out of the parish of St. Joseph’s in Moorhead. Our ministry offers many activities during the year to serve our college students. First and foremost we offer the Eucharist, the “source and summit” of our lives as Catholics. We have a special college student Mass at 11:45 a.m. on Sundays with lunch following. St. Joseph’s Church also has weekend Masses at 5:00 p.m. on Saturdays, 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. on Sunday mornings and 6:30 p.m. Sunday evenings. During the week we have a special daily Mass for college students on Monday evenings and Wednesday evenings with a time to socialize and build friendships following evening masses. Additionally retreats, Bible studies, socials, fellowship nights, game nights, and faith sharing opportunities are offered throughout the school year. Get involved in learning more about the Church and our faith!

What is a newman anyway? q&a guide
Who or what is a Newman?
St. John Henry Newman was a real live person who wrote, taught, and preached in the 19th Century. He spent many of his early years at Oxford University in England. Newman was raised in the Anglican Church, and moved through many stages and struggles in his spiritual quest. He finally decided to become Catholic at the age of 42. Four years later, he was ordained as a priest and continued on his spiritual journey, eventually becoming renowned as one of the keenest thinkers and best theologians in the Catholic Church. Unfortunately, he was often misunderstood in his lifetime. Protestants mistrusted him because he jumped ship, and Catholics were suspicious of Newman because he started out on the wrong ship. Despite all the pain his brilliance inflicted, Newman never ceased to advocate that mind and spirit should be connected. Faith and intellect belonged together in his eyes, and being a “Fool for Christ” meant that one shouldn’t withdraw from learning or questioning.Why is the Catholic Church on Campus also called the Newman Center?
When Catholics first stared to band together on state university campuses, they embraced St. John Henry Newman as the patron. As stated above, Newman was an intellectual who believed intellect and faith are directly related.What is a Catholic Church on Campus?
The first center, or club, established in 1893 at the University of Pennsylvania, declared in the rules that members wouldn’t be “clannish or narrow in a religious sense.” Until about 40 years ago, it was uncommon for Catholics to attend non-Catholic colleges. Priests and parents worried that young people who went to non religious colleges would lose their faith, morals, and non secular thinking they’d been brought up in. Kids who went on to college, therefore, we greatly encouraged to join the local “Newman Club” to seek friendship with other Catholics that would strengthen and nurture faith.
The first club to reach Minnesota was in St. Paul, founded in 1923. While it has been 72 years and many changes have occurred, the basic principles of faith and intellect still stand strong. As Linda Wall said:"I wish you to enlarge your knowledge, to cultivate your reason, to get an insight into the relation of truth to truth, to learn to view things as they are, to understand how faith and reason stand to each other. Religion cannot stifle or restrict the intellect, only enlighten and enlarge it.”
