Expanding Support

We’re proud to have earned the support of 117 (and counting) dioceses across the country, affirming our alignment with Catholic values and our role as a trusted partner in guiding students on their spiritual journeys. Our backing extends beyond dioceses – we’re honored to be endorsed by hundreds of Catholic high schools, parishes, and campus ministries nationwide. This broad support enables us to continue providing crucial faith-based resources and community-building initiatives.

“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!”

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.”
