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.

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.
