In 2023 we launched our 5-year Strategic Plan: “A Church that goes out”! Only a few years into our plan, we have already far surpassed our ministry goals. These past several years have been transformational here at Newman, as we went from having about 100 people involved with weekly small groups to over well over 500. The number of people at Sunday Mass has gone from 600 per week to well over 800.

Together with FOCUS missionaries, our staff have implemented a model for forming young people as “missionary disciples.” That is our mission, which comes from Pope Francis’ call for us to be a “Church that goes out.” We are all missionary disciples who encounter the Lord Jesus, grow in the Christian life, and discover a call to serve the Lord and his Church. 

Our vision for these 5 years is one of growth: to become a “fully alive apostolic community fostering each person's call to live the Church's mission of transforming the world.” We envision this growth in the number of people 1) coming to Mass, 2) going to weekly small groups, and 3) leading their peers.

In order to accomplish our goals & objectives, we have brought together a talented group of Newman alumni and friends in a newly formed Newman Advisory Council. We are looking to double our fundraising efforts over the next years, and have hired professionals to help us sustain our ministry growth.  

You can help! Do you believe in the power of young people to transform our society? Join our mission! Hundreds of Newman students need your support.
