Newman College Ministry

Newman Centers are Catholic Ministry Centers recognized as part of organizations founded in non-Catholic universities around the world. The establishment of these Catholic centers were a movement inspired by the writings of Cardinal John Henry Newman; who encouraged students attending secular universities to reach God within their studies and in their campus Catholic community.​
 
The Newman House at Chadron State College is unique in that we are closely knit with our local parish, St. Patrick’s Catholic Community. Since the Newman House is not a parish in itself, we celebrate mass with the St. Patrick’s Catholic Church. We share a priest, masses, some service projects, and a lot more with St. Patrick’s.
 
The Newman House is a recognized CSC student organization that is funded by the Grand Island Diocese. There are no membership requirements or special registration procedures. Anyone who wants to be part of a caring, spirit-led Christian community is more than welcome to come. You do not have to be a Catholic to attend! We emphasize the four essential of Christian spirituality: prayer, faith, action, and study.
