Hi my name is Father Mike Schmitz. You know years ago back in 2007 we started this

homily podcast every single week as an opportunity to extend the ministry that we do

up here at the University of Minnesota Duluth, the Newans Center, Bulldog Catholic,

were called to our students who had graduated, our students over summer break,

over Christmas break, and then, now since then, here we are in 2023 to the world or whoever wants to listen to these homilies.

We are so grateful that I'm so grateful that you have listened to these homilies.

Hopefully they're a blessing to you and they are truly an extension of

our ministry up here at the University of Minnesota Duluth at the Newman Center of

Bulldog Catholic. If you're interested, I'd say this if you've been blessed by these homilies, if they have touched your life, if they've offered you some kind of support, some kind of solace, some kind of direction in your life, if they've helped you get closer to the Lord, or maybe they're the kind of thing that you've passed them on to your children, your grandchildren, maybe you pass them on to siblings or your parents, and they've helped them.

If this ministry has blessed you in any way, I would just ask you, invite you to consider blessing this ministry.

On November 16th, that's this upcoming November 16th, it's a Thursday,

there's a thing here in Minnesota called Give to the Max Day,

have been blessed by our ministry to I don't want to say return the favor but to

consider a financial offering.

Now, yes, we have other things going on

and bigger projects that are going to be happening

in the next couple of months and years,

but this is kind of for the ongoing ministry

of reaching out to evangelize college students on the campus up here in

Duluth. Actually multiple campuses up here in Duluth. If you're interested at all, you can follow
