Let’s Be Real: College Can Be Tough on Your Faith
We know what you’re thinking: “I’ve got this.” And maybe you do! But consider:
- The average student encounters more worldview challenges in the first semester than in their entire high school experience
- 8 out of 10 Catholic students never connect with campus ministry
- Those first few weeks? They often determine your entire college social circle
The difference? Connecting with a community before arriving on campus is the single most important thing you can do to prepare for college.
What’s In It For You?
Instant Community:
- Skip the awkward “where do I belong?” phase
- Be greeted by name when you show up (yes, seriously)
- Find friends who share your values from day one
Real Support When You Need It:
- Mentors who understand exactly what you’re going through
- A place to ask the big questions without judgment
- Space to grow spiritually while you’re growing intellectually
It Just Makes College Better:
- Regular events, free food (we know what matters ?), and genuine connections
- Service opportunities that actually make a difference
- A balanced college experience where faith remains a core part of who you are
“The Newman Center completely changed my life! College without faith is very difficult…there are a lot of forces working against you. But having a community of Catholic friends and mentors was life-changing for me!”
— Brandon H., University of New Mexico

“Before coming to Butler and joining the Butler Catholic Community, my relationship with God was surface-level. I did the things that I was expected to do, but I never thought deeply about my faith or how to truly connect with God. So, when I was invited to BCC groups, I met people who were truly living out their faith in an open and genuine way. I learned how to make my faith my own and that I was meant for a deeper relationship with God. I will be forever thankful for how it changed my faith life.”
— Dante, Student at Butler Catholic Community, Butler University
