Membership in the Newman Catholic Community at EIU requires the following:
Eligibility:
Catholic students, faculty, and staff of Eastern Illinois University; members of RCIA who have participated in the Rite of Welcome; others, i.e., recent grads who remain in the area for a time.
The Ministry:
It is the responsibility of each and every member to build up the community of faith on campus. This will be done by:
- participating actively in the Eucharistic Celebrations each
weekend, and of course, for those so inclined, daily;
- being a member of a Small Community of Faith (SCF) that will
meet weekly: 12 meetings each Academic Session - Fall/Spring;
- members of the Newman Community are expected to "take-a-step" financially each year toward the biblical goal of tithing.
