About Us

Mission: To help college students center their lives on Jesus Christ through prayer, friendship, and service.​

Vision: A community of faithful, generous, and joyful Catholic college students rooted in their love for

Jesus Christ and His Church.

"School of Friendship": In his book, The Adventure of Discipleship, Daniel Keating writes that, 'Christian discipleship at its core is a school of friendship'. Every university has different schools where students can enter specialized fields of study like nursing, engineering, education, etc.

​

Here at Newman Eau Claire, we hope to be a school of friendship where college students can learn how to have meaningful and lasting bonds with God and one another.

"School of Friendship': Identifying Characteristics

(1) Faithful: Students are committed to Jesus Christ and His Church. Students are also committed to the responsibilities that they take on as a part of our community life.

​

(2) Generous: Students are welcoming and friendly to all. This can take many forms, but in a particular way current students take the initiative to greet and talk with new students.

​

(3) Joyful: Students exhibit a peace and lightheartedness that flows from prayer, friendship, and service. This joy draws others in and stirs in them the desire to know Jesus better and to become a part of our community.
