Answering the Call to Bring Them Home

We are in a battle for souls. The next generation of believers feels lost and disconnected from a Church that should be their home. Many young people and churchgoers struggle to find a place where they feel truly needed and known. Without an authentic community, they drift away, leaving their faith behind. Newman Ministry stands in this gap, determined to bring them back—into faith, into community, and into purpose.

Connecting, Engaging, and Empowering Faith Communities

Our mission is to rebuild strong, faith-centered communities in a world marked by isolation and disconnection. Through three key initiatives, we meet people where they are and create spaces for faith to grow and thrive:

  • Newman Connection: Inspiring students to continue their faith journey in college by connecting them with vibrant Catholic communities.
  • Called: Equipping ministry leaders with powerful tools to engage, build, and shepherd their communities beyond Sunday services.
  • Newman Student Housing: Creating faith-centered living spaces on college campuses where students can find belonging, purpose, and spiritual growth.

Together, we are igniting a movement to strengthen faith communities, inspire the next generation, and empower believers to live with purpose. Join us in shaping the future of the Church and creating the next generation of inspirational leaders.

Everyone I’ve met through the Newman Center is super nice and welcoming. Our meetings and weekly Mass have helped me feel close to God even when I’m away from home.

We’re doing all that we can to keep young adults involved in the church as they graduate from high school and go off to college. Both of my children have benefited greatly by being involved with the Catholic Student Association.

Newman Connection has been a great help to our diocese in our ministry. Newman Connection is a great resource for Campus Ministry, and I hope to utilize more of what they have to offer in the upcoming year.
