Helping College Students Grow Their Faith

About us

Over 80% of students leave the faith in college. Joining campus ministry in college is often the last thing on a student’s mind. They face distraction after distraction, forget to connect, and lose their way. Campus ministers are in a tough spot, too. With little resources and no assurance that students connect, outreach becomes a game of ‘needle in a haystack.’ That’s where Newman Ministry comes in. We exist to connect students with a Catholic community on campus so their faith thrives in college and beyond. This happens in two ways: Newman Connection, our flagship program, is a simple-to-implement program that connects high school seniors to campus ministries at their college of choice (before they get to campus). Newman Grow offers training, coaching, and community to help campus ministry leaders grow and do better ministry. Newman Ministry ensures high school seniors keep their faith in college, and campus ministers are equipped to inspire lifelong disciples.

  • 15 years. This year, Newman Connection celebrates 15 years of keeping students connected to their Catholic faith in college. In a culture that often marginalizes our faith, we’ve witnessed the transformative power of connecting more than 600,000 young adults to vibrant faith communities in: 📚 650+ Catholic high schools ⛪️ 2,000+ parishes ✝️ 800+ campus ministries But Catholic students still face challenges on campuses—their faith is often called a "fairytale" by a rising "intellectual" atheism. The future of our faith rests with these young souls and their campus ministers. That's why, as Newman Connection celebrates 15 years of ministry, we ask you to prayerfully consider making a sacrificial gift to support our vital work to help them. Join us and make an impact today at bit.ly/15th-Anniversary-NC.

  • Newman Connection partners with dioceses nationwide to connect students to vibrant Catholic campus ministries. Bishop John Brungardt from the Diocese of Dodge City recently praised our mission: “I’m grateful for the work Newman Connection does and for the fruit it bears.” We’re so close to reaching our goal! With your help, we can empower young adult Catholics to win the fight against the secular world and stay strong in their faith during college. Through the generosity of one of our donors, we have an end-of-the-year match of up to $100,000 between now and December 31. Make a difference—your tax-deductible donation can have double the impact while helping the next generation of our faith! Donate today: bit.ly/15th-Anniversary-NC #NewmanConnection #Catholic
