NEWMAN MINISTRIES -
Over 80% of students stop practicing the faith in college—that’s most of the campus! The problem is, many students struggle to find great friends that share their faith.
It can be overwhelming to walk onto a new campus with no friends. There’s so many opportunities and decisions to make. Faith usually isn’t at the top of the list. That’s where we come in. Newman Ministry connects students with a Catholic community on campus, so their faith thrives in college and beyond.
