THE PASTOR'S DESK... Dear Mountaineer Catholic family,
Fr. Brian J. Crenwelge
Pastor of St. John's and Director of Campus Ministry
As we enter 2022, I am so thankful for all that our Lord has allowed to be accomplished at St. John University Parish through our campus ministry program under the direction of Mrs. Colleen Criste, our campus minister. I am so impressed daily by the witness of the students as they stop in the church to pray in between classes, as they volunteer copious amounts of times in order to plan a campus ministry event, as they continue to invite new friends to come to our events. I love hearing their voices and laughter coming from the Newman lounge as I work in my office. The more Newman Hall is filled with students, the more I am reminded of God’s work in our lives. Thank you for supporting Mountaineer Catholic both spiritually and financially. We are not able to foster the mission of Jesus Christ and His Church here on the campus of West Virginia University without your generous help. May God continue to enrich you as we embark on this new year, and may we always keep Him at the forefront of our hearts and minds.
