We are the Newman Catholic Community, a parish of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Raleigh ministering to students, faculty, and staff of UNC and alumni, families, friends, and visitors to Chapel Hill.
Our mission is to invite people to encounter Jesus Christ and accompany them towards deeper discipleship and commitment to continue His Mission.
Newman fosters growth in Christian discipleship through accepting the invitation to deeper union with God, joyfully responding to truly being Church in fellowship and community, responding to the call to serve the surrounding community and the world.
Grounded by and in vibrant liturgical celebration, we strive to be a local Church community, growing together in our Catholic faith, where all might experience a sense of belonging, both parishioners who live in the greater Chapel Hill area and the UNC students for whom Newman is their home away from home.
We envision a community of active participation and involvement in worship; spiritual growth and development; stewardship of time, talents, and treasure; and service in and for the surrounding community.
We value Spiritual Growth as disciples of Jesus Christ, to understand and experience Him more deeply and follow Him more closely in our daily lives.
We value Community as indispensable to being a disciple of Jesus Christ, Who desires His followers to come together as one Body.
We value Stewardship because the investment of our treasure, time, and talent signals real commitment to Jesus Christ and His Church.
We value Service which fosters the dignity of every person because we strive to be faithful to the command of Jesus.
