What is the Newman Center?
Named in honor of John Henry Cardinal Newman, Newman Centers, are residence and Catholic ministry centers throughout the world. The centers provide pastoral services and ministries to their Catholic communities, in particular to the Roman Catholic student population within the universities, and to their communities. A variety of university and parish related meetings and social events take place at the centers, as well as personal events including weddings, anniversary celebrations, baptisms, masses and funeral receptions. Most trace their inspiration back to the Newman Society of Oxford University.
