Mission Statement

The Catholic Newman Club is a Catholic organization of students, faculty and staff who seek to form the Christian conscience, help members appropriate the Catholic faith, educate for justice, facilitate personal development and form leaders for the future.

About Newman

The Catholic Newman Club is named after Cardinal John Henry Newman, a man who searched for the truth and intellectual order, and lived his life consequentially. The Newman Club seeks to encourage its members to search for the truth and meaning throughout their lives; thereby gaining the joy that comes from discovering the truth, which comes with reason. "The human spirit must be cultivated in such a way that there results a growth in its ability to wonder, to understand, to contemplate, to make personal judgements, and to develop a moral and social sense".
