and welcome all who come, as Christ Himself.

KEEPING OUR YOUTH
CONNECTED to the
CATHOLIC FAITH
Newman Connection is a Catholic
organization, endorsed by the
Archdiocese and Holy Spirit,
wherein students are connected
with Catholic institutions on or

are
involved
with
campus
ministry, they are more likely to
keep their faith the rest of their
lives. The first two weeks on campus are critical for student outreach.
You are a vital link to your students keeping their faith. Together we will reach them where
they are, help them find support
and develop friendships to last
them a lifetime. All we need is
your students’ name, home address, phone number, college,
campus address and e-mail address. This information will be
used for the sole purpose of inviting students to visit campus ministries.
