Founding Principles ·
Established in fidelity to Christ and his Church, Newman College will sponsor the search for truth through learning undertaken in the light of the Magisterium of the Catholic Church. Its programs are academic projects intended for inquirers interested in the disciplines of literature, philosophy, theology, classics, and history who genuinely aspire to know the most splendid truths about human experience. Guided by the Vatican II call for greater ecumenical and evangelical outreach by the laity, Newman College will not discriminate in its programs on the basis of sex, age, race, ethnic or religious background and will welcome both Catholics and non-Catholics interested in study, dialogue, and learning. Following the example and teaching of John Paul II, the College will seek to establish greater bonds of solidarity with all through reflection upon the universal truths, challenges, and common destiny of humanity.
Newman College will be an apostolate of Catholic laity guided by the principles of Ex Corde Ecclesiae and governed by a lay board of trustees.
