The Mission of the Catholic Newman Center of St. Thomas More is to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ expressed in the Dominican intellectual and spiritual tradition into dialogue with the academic community.
The Core Values That Guide Us are derived from essential aspects of the Christian life, the charism and life of the Dominican Order, and our goal of participating in the intellectual life of the University.
We believe that the Eucharist is the source and summit of our lives and that Christ forms us into His Body through the grace of the sacraments;
We believe in the importance of both a personal relationship with God expressed in prayer and a moral life, and a communal relationship manifested in liturgy and service;
We believe we are each empowered by the Holy Spirit with gifts given us in baptism, and commissioned by Jesus Christ to exercise a particular apostolate;
We seek to understand our Faith and to form our consciences according to Christian principles while acknowledging the freedom of human Reason and the legitimate autonomy of human culture and science;
We are convinced that studying the signs of the times and working for social justice are non-negotiable elements of the Gospel; and
We desire to be a diverse, multi-generational and welcoming community that is a center of formation for Christian leaders.
