MARQUETTE — What do Marquette, Sault Ste. Marie and Houghton have in common? Students there as well as other Catholic ministries across the Upper Peninsula have benefited from #GivingTuesday.
The Diocese of Marquette said Lake Superior State University students received funding for their “home away from home” at the Newman Center there. The burgeoning music ministry of St. Albert the Great student parish serving Michigan Tech University students will be able to restore an organ built in the 1880s. Northern Michigan University students are “Lighting the Fire” with more than $11,000 raised to support their ministries.
This year in the Upper Peninsula, 178 donations totaling $32,673 were made to 45 different Catholic ministries. This amount doubled the $16K given for iGiveCatholic in 2019. For complete results of each organization, visit marquette.igivecatholic.org.
