The mission of the University Parish Newman Center is to as a university parish entrusted by the Church with a special mission embrace fully our ministry of serving as a strong Catholic presence at Kent State University. By focusing on worship learning and service to the local and global community we accompany our students toward lifelong commitment to faith and to our Tradition. Enriched by many persons from within and beyond the university we commit ourselves to the hospitality generosity and prayerfulness that mark those gathered at the table of the Risen Lord.
