Encouraging students to transform their hearts by encountering Christ and serving those in need
Here are some students and alumni who have benefited from Millikin Newman Catholic's dedication to sharing Christ's love on campus.
"I enjoy the wide array of events that Newman offers; there are weekly Masses, Bible studies, prayer services, small groups, and more. I have learned so much from the older students, and having their influence as I transitioned into college was very impactful."
"Newman Catholic is consistently serving as a space for me to escape the hustle of college life, whether this is in prayer, Bible study, or fellowship with Newman peers. Newman Catholic has enhanced my faith by giving me a vessel to stay constantly involved with my faith. Sometimes other tangible things can get in the way of faith during college, but to know that other members are there experiencing the same struggles that I am motivates me to stay strong in my faith."
"My favorite part about Newman is all the amazing people. Everyone is so welcoming and has made Millikin feel like home. Newman has enhanced my faith because as a college student, I now have more of a choice in how I express my faith, and I think more about what my faith means to me."
"Newman Catholic has enabled me to become a leader of faith on campus. I like that there are people my age who are practicing Catholics just like me, and I experience this feeling at Mass."
"I love the fellowship within Newman Catholic! We became more like a family seeking holiness together. Newman Catholic has really grown since I first began at Millikin, and now there are opportunities for Mass, the Sacraments, fellowship, praise and worship, and learning how to be the saint God made us to be."
"I enjoyed the fellowship created in Newman Catholic by the many activities we did! Being a part of Newman Catholic enhanced my faith by holding me accountable in my spiritual life and giving me an opportunity to express my faith. Now that I've graduated, I continue strengthening my relationship with the Lord by focusing on my prayer life and asking the Lord to work through me and provide the love and light of Jesus to my students."
