Joining The Newman Community

Becoming Catholic

Please feel welcome to speak with any of our ministerial staff about your journey of faith. We come from a variety of backgrounds. We strongly support Cardinal Newman's intelligent and insightful "heart speaks to heart" approach to campus ministry. We are happy to listen and to offer appropriate resources from the community.

Are you returning to the Church? Welcome. You'll find yourself in good company at Newman. Even if you have already received the Sacraments of initiation you may want to audit our RCIA program offerings and/or our monthly "Faith 101" offerings. They're a great way to bring yourself up to date and into the community. Jump into the service and social activities - have fun.

For adults, the common route towards reception of the Sacraments of initiation (baptism, communion, confirmation) is the RCIA program. Please see "Faith Formation and Education, RCIA" for more information."

For children and young adults, the common route towards reception of the Sacraments of initiation (baptism, communion, confirmation) is the religious education program. Please refer to "Faith Formation and Education, Religious Education" on this website for more information.
