Mission Statement
We the members of the Newman Community at Eastern Illinois University are Catholic Christians. By virtue of our baptism, we seek to be Christ for one another; we are also a sign of Christ to the people of the Charleston area. Indeed as members of the Universal Church, we are 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 in the Kingdom of God now and we look forward to the kingdom yet to be. This is our call. Led by the light of Christ, we seek to come ever closer to our Creator, 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.
