Bible Study offers the opportunity to study and reflect on sacred Scripture in a small group environment. Bible Study will be held on Thursday evenings at 7:30pm at the Newman Center.

Christian Life Communities (CLCs) is a small group experience for faith sharing and exploration to grow with God in a safe place. CLCs will be held on Tuesday evenings at 7:30pm at the Newman Center. If there is sufficient interest, we will schedule groups in the student housing complexes.

Retreats provide an excellent opportunity to take a break from a busy class schedule and the worries of life in order to rejuvenate energy for your faith. We host a single-day retreat for new students during the fall quarter, and we have full weekend retreats in both winter and spring quarters.

Social Justice is 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.

Liturgical Ministries are an essential element to our liturgical life here at the Newman Center. You are encouraged to participate to help make our liturgies great! You can join us as a Lector, Eucharistic Minister, singer or musician in the choir, or even as a chapel decorator. New ministers are always welcome, and we provide training so you can participate.

Rosary Each month the Newman Center gathers to pray the Rosary as a group. Please come join us in the Newman Chapel at 5:30pm on the first Friday of each month.

Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament is held in the Newman Chapel from 3pm to 5pm on the third Friday of every month.

Outreach seeks to provide an inviting environment that encourages participation in the life of our faith community. We reach out to others by hosting special activities on campus and at the Newman Center. We host everything from scavenger hunts to game and movie nights. We even work to arrange rides to mass, especially for freshmen living on campus without cars.

Freshman Connection is a special outreach to freshman with some special activities: rides from campus housing to Mass, mentoring, and opportunities for building friendships among other freshman.

Tijuana House Building Project is an amazing experience where 25 students fundraise over $15,000 to travel down to Tijuana, Mexico for one week during Christmas break to work with Esperanza International Incorporated to build a home for those less fortunate.

Sports and Recreation is alive and well at Newman. There are outdoor activities at the Newman Center and we participate in intramural sports on campus. Come join one of our teams or just come to have fun watching and rooting for Newman!

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

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