Be seen. Be challenged. Belong.

Welcome to Gopher Catholic

At Gopher Catholic, we understand the struggle of searching for meaningful faith as a college student.

St. Lawrence Newman Center is a place for University of Minnesota students to seek deep friendships, breathe new life into their relationship with God, and unpack the bold truths of the Catholic faith that challenge them and set them free.

Belong to a God who’s waiting to take you on the greatest adventure of your life.
