About Us
The Davis Newman Center was established in 1965 and is sponsored by the
Catholic Diocese of Sacramento. The Newman Center is housed on the original
site of St. James Catholic Church. St. James Parish is now located at 14th and
B streets. John Henry Cardinal Newman was a proponent of liberal education, the
role of the laity, and the place of conscience in one's life. The United States
Conference of Catholic Bishops has established chaplainries called Newman
Centers, named in his honor, to care for the spiritual needs of those engaged
in university life and to serve as a Catholic presence in the university
environment. As a Catholic community serving the University of California,
Davis -- students, faculty, and staff -- our goals include:
-
Building a sense of community and hospitality where Christian
faith can be shared, developed, and challenged.
-
Developing and enhancing ministry with students, administration, faculty,
and staff at UCD.
-
Providing ongoing educational opportunities relative to Catholic Christian
beliefs, Social Justice, Liturgy, Scripture, and Personal Growth.
