Catholic Campus Ministry is a term used to describe an organization at a college or university that is the presence of the Roman Catholic Church on campus. Other names for Catholic Campus Ministry may include Newman Club, Newman Apostolate, Cardinal Newman Society, or Catholic Student Association.
Many Catholic Campus Ministry programs exist today because of the efforts of Cardinal John Henry Newman, the man who founded the first Newman Center on a college campus.
In the United States, there are four organizations that coordinate Catholic Campus Ministry programs throughout the country. They are:
Newman Connection
National Catholic Student Coalition (NCSC)
Catholic Campus Ministry Association (CCMA)
Fellowship of Catholic University Students
University Catholic Community at UTA
Loyola Marymount University, Campus Ministry
