University Parish Newman Center

Welcome to the University Parish
Newman Center

As a university parish entrusted by the Church with a specific mission, we fully embrace our ministry of serving as a strong Catholic presence at Kent State University. By focusing on worship, learning, and service to the local and global community, we accompany our students toward lifelong commitment to faith and to our Tradition. Enriched by many persons from within and beyond the university, we commit ourselves to the hospitality, generosity, and prayerfulness that mark those gathered at the table of the Risen Lord.
