​Association of Catholic Students 

The ​Association of Catholic Students (aka Newman Club) is an official club of the University of Oregon.  Membership is open to all current students who are Catholic, or interested in the Catholic faith. 

​The peer ministers and Student Activities Leadership Team (SALT) run programs made just for college students--programs ranging from small groups to social events and retreats. It’s a great way to stay connected to a faith community, make close friends, grow in faith, and have fun!!

Retreats

The SALT team hosts quarterly retreats for all students! Each retreat focuses on a different spiritual and/or intellectual aspect of our faith, but they all offer a great opportunity to meet other Catholic students and spend time in fellowship and prayer. Retreats are typically from Friday afternoon to noon Sunday, and are held at St. Benedict Lodge in McKenzie Bridge, OR.

Wednesday Night Confession  & Mass

Available weekly on Wednesday nights during the school year are: Candlelight Mass  which takes place at 8 PM every Wednesdays, and confessions available at 7PM-8PM.

Sunday Night Supper

Feed the soul and the body! Every Sunday during the academic year after the 7:30pm Mass, come downstairs to the Newman Center for dinner.  Meet other students, make new friends and members of the community and enjoy a free dinner!!
