Our Mission is to Ensure Every Catholic Student Is Connected to Their Faith in College.
The Challenge
A New Generation Drifts Away The Crisis of Young Catholics in College
Young Catholics are leaving the faith at an alarming rate, particularly during college years. Over 80% of students are no longer Catholic by graduation, with 50-60% leaving their faith before they arrive on campus. Campus culture is changing. Atheism or secular ideologies are on the rise. Our Catholic faith is demonized. Now more than ever we need young Catholics to be empowered in their faith.
The Solution
Connecting Students to Faith and Strengthening Faith Communities
Since 2009, Newman Connection has been on a mission to ignite and nurture faith in young adults across America. We’ve built a powerful national network that has connected 600,000+ students to campus ministries.
Our reach extends across more than 115 dioceses, uniting Catholic high schools, campus ministries, and parishes in one common goal: to keep young adults engaged in their faith during the critical college years and beyond. Thanks to the generous support of our donors, we provide all our services at no cost to our partner ministries.
