Bible Study offers a safe place to grow with God, to learn about sacred Scripture and to share yourfaith with other Catholics. It is based on commentaries and reflection and is held on campus and at the Newman Center at various times.

Christian Life Communities (CLCs) are small faith-sharing groups that discuss Scripture in relation to personal experience and create communities for personal and spiritual growth. CLCs meet regularly at the Newman Center.

Unity in Christ is a campus-wide group where Newman is represented and participates in fellowship with other Christian groups on campus.

SoulFood takes place on Thursdays, beginning at 5:30pm. Soul Food comprises of several activities that focuses on the development of spirituality. Events start with a Rosary right before which leads into mass. Mass is at 6pm, food and discussion and/or speaker series will follow at 7:30pm. Attendance to entire event is encouraged, but you are welcome to any part of Soul Food activities.

The Newman Center Speaker Series, held on the first and third Thursdays of the month in the Chapel, hosts speakers on a wide range of topics. They are invited to share their perspective on selected topics followed by refreshments and informal discussion.

Social Justice Activities are a major part of the Newman experience. We hope to enrich and nurture our faith, by offering many opportunities to reach out to the community through serving others as Jesus Christ did. We aim to raise consciousness for social justice issues and conduct several activities that include feeding the poor, food and clothing drives, supporting needy children at Christmas, and the Tijuana House Building project.

Tijuana House Building Project is an amazing experience where 25 students fundraise over $10,000 to travel down to Tijuana, Mexico for one week during Christmas break and work with Esperanza International Incorporated to build a home for those less fortunate.

Liturgical Ministers are the Eucharistic ministers and lectors that bring the mass to life. We are always open to new ministers, and provide trainings so you can participate.

Music is an important part of the Newman ministry, and there are choirs at each of our masses on Sunday. We love new singers to join us at practice during the week and for mass on Sunday (with or without skill and singing ability!) Enthusiasm is contagious, so please join us!

Arts and Environment is a group that decorates the Chapel for the liturgical seasons and feasts. If you feel creative or would like to help out, contact

Outreach is an integral part of the Newman Center. We make ourselves known on campus with an inviting, warm environment that encourages students, faculty and staff to actively participate in the life of the Newman Center's faith community. We schedule social activities on campus and at the Newman Center. We are active in tabling and have "A-frames" on campus to keep you informed of events and activities.

The Catholic Faculty and Staff Association on campus also bridges communication between students and faculty, provides support and guidance to students, and articulates a Catholic presence at the university.

Sports and Recreation are alive and well at Newman, where we participate in intramural sports on campus, either by playing on the team or supporting it through the "Newman Pack."

Garden Crew maintains the beautiful grounds on the Newman Center property every Friday afternoon. We love to have people come and join us (green thumbs are not required), so stop by to enjoy the outdoors.
