As the youngest daughter of an Inupiaq man and white woman, Cass (she/her) has always been interested in how people get along. She used to think that following the rules was the quickest way to success and acceptance until she realized the rules weren’t written for her benefit. So she rebelled against them…until it became clear that was another way of being ruled by them. Through all of her life experiences, extensive education, and many, many jobs, Cass has come to know that in order to truly get along and succeed, we must open our hearts, courageously speak our truth with compassion, and bear witness to ourselves and each other. She believes authentic emotional connection with yourself and others is the way of personal and collective healing in our relationships, in all of our systems and structures, and in our experience of the Divine. #csl #centersforspiritualliving #focusministry #collab2thrive #collaborate2thrive

Today, we were pleased to welcome more than fifty students from the University of South Carolina in Columbia to our office to see the latest progress on the design of the Newman Center and Church of St. Thomas More, just south of campus. The students were visiting D.C. for the annual March for Life, accompanied by their pastor, Fr. Rhett Williams. Here, Principal James McCrery guides the group through the rendered front facade of their new church. Here's a link to an animated fly-through of McCrery Architects' design for St. Thomas More and the Newman Center: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=NUp2XUj8Tyk @stthomasmoreusc @frrhettbwilliams #catholic #catholicchurch #newmancenter #southcarolina #columbia #usc #universityofsouthcarolina #gamecocks #saintthomasmore #focusministry #marchforlife #traditionalarchitecture
Happy Feast of Pope St. John Paul ll!✨ “JPII’s quote, “Be not afraid,” is a valuable reminder during times of uncertainty when I need some extra courage to take that next step. Fear is a natural emotion that we can experience, but we must not let anxieties hold us back from going where He calls us. We must have courage and trust that we can take each step with the Lord, even in the midst of our fears. Whether you have just moved to a new city, are starting a new school year/job, or are entering into a completely new stage of life, take courage and do not be afraid because the Lord is with you every step of the way. “ Tap the link in bio to read more of our new blog post by Valerie Abrego, FOCUS ministry of San Jose State University.

Brad from @northern_iowa left a great review of his experience as a Catholic on campus. He writes, "There is not an abundant number of Catholics, but you are sure to run into a fair number of us around campus...UNI has a solid number of Catholics that make up enough of the student population so that you are sure to see some fellow Catholics everywhere around campus." He continues, "We have a lot of students who wish to grow closer to God, even some Catholics who are not practicing. The students who are involved at St. Stephen's are definitely people who are looking to grow toward Christ. We also have some awesome FOCUS missionaries, and I have noticed a profound difference in the community since their arrival 3 years ago."

Nick's advice to incoming students at University of Illinois @illinois1867 - Join a Newman Center! He writes, "I lived in our campus’s Newman Center for my freshman year, and I enjoyed it so much I returned my sophomore year. Great community, lots of events and engagement, and next door to the church. Despite being “the catholic dorm”, many non Catholics lived there and campus ministers never forced an agenda/events onto the residents. It was very welcoming and you were welcome to be as much or as little involved as you wanted." You can read Nick's full review here: https://runwithsaints.org/college/university-of-illinois-at-urbana-champaign/ Nick has some great words of wisdom for Catholic students starting classes at a secular school.
