Welcome to the University Parish Newman Center Website
The University Parish Newman Center is the official location for Catholic Campus Ministry at Kent State University and the spiritual home of the KSU Catholic Student Association.
As a full-fledged parish dedicated to serving the university community, we invite you to explore this website to find helpful information concerning the many ministries, events, and opportunities that are part of our vibrant parish life.
Whether you are a Kent State student, alum, faculty or staff member or from beyond the university community, know that your presence in our community is a gift. Join us for worship, for an educational or service activity, a social event, or just drop by to pray in our lovely chapel. We look forward to seeing you.
The University Parish Newman Center celebrates the Beatification of Cardinal John Henry Newman!
O God, who bestowed on the Priest Blessed John Henry Newman
the grace to follow your kindly light and find peace in your Church;
graciously grant that, through his intercession and example,
we may be led out of shadows and images
into the fullness of your truth.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
