About the Newman House - - Catholic Campus Ministries

Here’s a little bit about us:

A Place to Meet God
The Newman House has a Blessed Sacrament Chapel where you can stop in to pray 24 hours a day. There is nothing more powerful than the presence of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist. Placing ourselves in our Lord’s presence is a welcome rest from busy college life. In the Chapel, there are a variety of books and resources about the Catholic faith and prayer. Masses and various devotions are also celebrated throughout the semester.

A Place to Meet People
What is college without friends? Finding a place to meet people is important. The John Newman Association (JNA) is a group of students who gather to socialize, pray, and do service projects. The JNA has a variety of events throughout the week. We’re a Catholic Christian organization; however, our students come from all faiths and walks of life!

A Place to Have Fun
During the year, many social events take place at the Newman House. The JNA hosts bowling, whitewater rafting, an annual semi-formal dance, hiking, game nights, mini-golf, ice skating, laser tagging, karaoke, and day trips to Hershey Park, New York City, Baltimore, Washington D.C., Philadelphia. See the Semester Events Calendar for a list of our events for the semester!

A Place to Serve Others
The JNA organizes a variety of service opportunities. Throughout the year, students can practice service outreach to the local community by working with charities and performing service projects: working at a soup kitchen, an AIDS hospice, a women’s shelter and many other opportunities. There is also a week long Mission Trip during the Spring Break every year.
