Build the Catholic Community Students Are Searching For

Partner with Newman Connection and Welcome the Students Already Headed Your Way

Every year, hundreds of thousands of Catholic students leave home, and many never find their way back to the Church. Newman Connection exists to change that.

We help you ensure that every student arriving on your campus feels needed and known, not just another face in the crowd, but a vital part of a faith community that sees them, values them, and walks with them.

When you become a Newman Connection campus ministry partner, we equip you to identify, reach, and personally invite Catholic freshmen before they even arrive on campus. You’ll gain access to detailed student information, safe engagement tools through Called+, and a network of support to help your ministry grow.

Together, we can build a future where no student slips through the cracks—and every Catholic young adult knows they belong.

What They’re Saying

“Hi, my name is Sophia. I’ve really enjoyed being a part of the Newman Association because it has led me to meet other Catholics on campus and made me feel less alone in my faith. Everyone I’ve met through the Newman Center is super nice and welcoming. Our meetings and weekly Mass have helped me feel close to God even when I’m away from home. It’s also nice to be a part of an organization when so many other clubs have not been able to be very active this semester due to COVID.”

“Newman’s High School Outreach Program (HSO) saves me hundreds of hours each year! Now all I do is upload my list of seniors and the colleges they’ve selected, and Newman Ministry takes care of the rest!”

“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, like attend Mass, but I never thought deeply about my faith or how to truly connect with God. So, when I was invited to BCC groups like men’s group and bible study, 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 the BCC and how it changed my faith life in such a positive way.”

“We have confidence that Newman Connection will help form the connection between our graduates and campus ministry prior to their arrival to help with the adjustment to campus life and its unique culture. We are pleased that Newman not only connects our graduates but also 60,000+ other students to Catholic campus ministries nationwide. We are delighted to continue our longstanding collaboration with Newman Connection. It is a gift to our graduates and their families to know that they will be warmly welcomed into the vibrant life of Catholic ministry on campus by a team of peer and adult ministers waiting with enthusiasm to receive them upon their arrival.”

– Sarah H., Director of College Preparations, Providence Academy, Plymouth, MN

“I would encourage you to be involved, and pray for all the folks at Newman Connection and for all the young adults who are going off to college. If you can support in any way, please do. I highly recommend it.”

– Toby Boschert, Newman Center at the University of Missouri, Kansas
