The Illinois College Newman Club is a group devoted to unite the Catholic students at Illinois College. Through the celebration of the mass, discussion groups and other religious based events, we allow our the Catholic population on our campus the ability to further grow in their faith.

We, the members of the Newman Club at Illinois College, are Catholic Christians. By virtue of our baptism, we seek to be Christ for one another; as well as a sign of Christ to the people of the Jacksonville area. Indeed, as members of the Universal Church, we serve as a sign of Christ for the entire world. We are called to provide a vision and a sense of direction that will encourage and nurture the faith of our members, and we are called to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ. Through worship and witness, we live the Kingdom of God now; we look forward to the kingdom yet to be lived and we share that vision with everyone we meet. This is our call. Led by the light of Christ, we seek to come ever closer to God our Father, who is the source of all life and goodness; our journey of faith is that of the Church, and we invite all pilgrims to follow the path of life opened up to them by the spirit of God.
