Newman Club (Carleton Catholic Student Association)
The Newman Club (Carleton Catholic Student Association) is an ecumenical Catholic based organization open to the whole Carleton College community that provides a diverse and supportive environment for students to foster their faith. It offers opportunities for students to gather to pray, worship, listen to visiting speakers, discuss current issues, enjoy fellowship, serve others, and educate themselves about Biblical and Catholic Church teachings. It is also serves as a connection between the local Catholic Parish of St. Dominic and the Catholic students on campus. To contact one of the officers, click here. To contact Fr. Denny, the pastor at St. Dominic's, click here.

Tentative Activities:
(i) Additional Campus Mass: We will try to have an additional mass on campus in the little chapel this term.
(ii) Tabling for Charity: We would like to table to raise money for a charity this term. Denicia is leading this.
New Space (Little Chapel)
The Carleton Catholic Student Association recently gained permission to use the Little Chapel in the basement of the Chapel as a Catholic prayer and meditation room. We are in the process of making it as welcoming and prayerful as possible and changes will continue throughout this year and the next. There you will find Catholic resources, and other items. If you would like to donate something to the room, please contact one of the officers. For instructions for how to get there, click here.
On-going Activities
Weekly Rosary: Students pray and teach others how to pray the Holy Rosary each week at a time determined at the beginning of each term.
Adopt-a-Family: The Adopt-a-Family Program through St. Dominic's pairs interested Catholic Student's with Catholic families in Northfield. Student's can have occasional dinners, hang out, or go to the cities with their adopted family. If you (a student) are interested in participating, fill out this form and return it to one of the officers.
Saint Paul's Outreach (SPO): St. Paul's Outreach works with student's from Carleton and St. Olaf through fun and faith filled events and service projects.
