Welcome Parents!

Sending a son or daughter off to college is a great act of trust. We here at the Cardinal Newman Center Catholic Campus Ministry Center are committed to building upon the foundation you gave your child. Our programs enhance the gifts, leadership and faith of today's young adults. Our mission is to help them engage life and proclaim faith.

The college years are a critical time when young adults ask many questions, explore many aspects of life, discover many new gifts, and are transformed into leaders and disciples. Through our campus ministry program we are committed to the constitutive elements of the Church's mission.

• Preach the Gospel which is the content of our faith. When we know what we believe we are freer to believe.
• Celebrate the Sacraments which is where we are enabled to encounter the Lord.
• Work for Justice which is our great commission as disciples.

The Newman Center is a community of diverse students bound by a common perspective of life called being Catholic. Here students laugh and cry, study and eat, question and learn, celebrate Mass and forge lifelong friendships. Here students integrate their spiritual life with their academic pursuit. Here the free food and open sharing become powerful symbols of Eucharist and Church membership.

You, as parents, are always welcome at the Newman Center. Come see why so many students say this is their home away from home and their involvement here was the best decision of their UMR years. Feel free to call me or e-mail at any time.
