Welcome Parents

We’re so glad your child is part of our Gopher Catholic community. Here, they’ll find friendship, faith, and a second home. Thank you for trusting us to walk alongside them during their formative college years—we’re honored to support their journey!

Our Mission

We are a Catholic church making disciples of Jesus at the U of M by building transformative relationships and raising up leaders in the faith.

Our Vision

As one spiritual family, to provide a transformative environment where students, young adults, and parishioners at the University of Minnesota become lifelong disciples.

Our Core Values

  • We reach out to students and young adults on campus and at the Newman Center by creating a sense of community and relationship.

  • We invite students and young adults to a personal encounter with Christ through the true presence in the Eucharist and the sacraments.

  • Through community and fellowship, we aim to draw students and young adults into a fuller relationship with Christ, his people, and his church.

  • We ignite and equip students to build up Catholic families, parishes, and communities as they go out into the world.
