The Catholic Newman Centers of the Diocese of Sacramento are committed to serving the needs of its students, fulfilling the mission of the Church and the goals of the Office of Young Adult Ministry. Following prayer, discernment and an assessment of how best to reach and impact a broad demographic of young adults, it was determined to create a new event: The College Summit--a completely collaborative effort planned and initiated by the staff and student leadership of all three centers.
