Guest: Fr. Gregary Ketcham
Featured Saint of the Day: Martyrdom of St. John the Baptist
Today Deacon Rick and Jenny spoke with Fr. Gregary Ketcham, the director and head chaplain of St. John's Catholic Newman Center at the University of Illinois. Fr. Gregary shared with us some of the exciting things going on at St. John's Catholic Newman Center in this their, 80th year of campus ministry. Fr. Gregary told us that they just finished building the Catholic Residence Hall pictured above. This residence hall has 600 rooms on site, food service, house keeping, maintainance, computer labs, a fitness center, choir rooms and 24-hour acces to the main chapel. Fr. Gregary also spoke about the three doors into the ministries of the Newman Center. the first is the FOCUS missionaries that are present at the Newman Center. The second is the retreat program they have started. The third is through the orthodox liturgy presented. It is encouraging to know that when your kids go off to college, if there's a Newman Center, they will be taken care of.
