Frequently Asked Questions

So why are you called the "Newman" Student Fellowship?
The first Newman student fellowship was started by students of John Henry Cardinal Newman at Oxford University in the 1890's. Newman was a renowned scholar and Christian who became convinced in his adult years that the fullness of truth and grace are found in Jesus Christ and His Church. He has left us a collection of important theological works, in which he states that faith and the use of reason work together harmoniously in bringing us to a fuller discovery and appreciation of the Truth. Today, Newman ministries exist on college campuses around the world, united in their pursuit of the Way, the Truth, and the Life after the example of Cardinal Newman.

Can I get involved with Newman Student Fellowship if I am not Catholic?
Absolutely! We affirm every individual's desire to pursue the Way, the Truth, and the Life. We invite you to join us as we all seek to better understand and live what Jesus has revealed to all peoples.
