Our Mission and Inspiration Catholic Newman Club is a Catholic inspired social justice organization that meets every Monday night at 8pm in room 314 of the union. We strive to spread awareness about the importance of social justice in our world, and the value placed on your participation in the process. Social Justice is a term used to describe giving what is due to each human person and all God’s creation. Often times acts of social justice are described as service towards one’s neighbor. This might include speaking up for human rights in small groups of friends or in congress. It may also include working to better our environment and taking on conversationalist ideals. I invite you to visit the Catholic Social Teaching portion of our website to gain a better understanding of what catholic believe about social justice.

Weekly MeetingsEvery Monday at 8pm you will find the Newman members in room 314 of the student union. At these meetings members have visits from speakers, plan service events, and build community. We encourage all to attend, and to be open to new possibilities. Come and join the Newman Community. |
Urban Plunge and Alternative Spring BreakDuring the Fall Break of BGSU, Catholic Newman Club takes students to an urban location such as Chicago on a mission trip, and during Spring Break, there is a mission trip to Appalachia. On these trips you will serve our brothers and sisters in Christ through action and prayer, while at the same time you will be forming an amazing bond of friendship with your peers and those you are serving. |

A Bit About Us
Catholic Newman Club has a long and rich tradition at Bowling Green State University. It all began in 1939 with a small group of Catholic Students who wanted something more in their faith life. Therefore, under the authority of the Bishop of Toledo and the Newman Club Federation the Catholic Newman Club at Bowling Green State University was formed. A more detailed history of Catholic Newman Club and St. Thomas More University Parish can be found by checking out the Newman History portion of our website.
Today Catholic Newman Club has taken on the mission of Social Justice. We use the color green to represent rebirth. This rebirth is present in everything we do as Christians, and is most present in Social Justice. Catholic Newman Club provides you with an opportunity to experience your faith through service. It is our obligation as Christians to serve those in need, and indeed we are called to serve by Christ in the gospels. Take the time on a Monday to come by and get to know some of the members. It is a great time, and a wonderful experience. |
