Formation Picture

St. Robert Bellarmine Catholic Newman Center has a three-fold mission of formation: intellectual, spiritual and apostolic.  That students may Know Christ, Love Christ and Share Christ.

The mission statement itself is an adaptation of a quotation given by Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger during one of his first homilies after being named Pope. He said, "There is nothing more beautiful than to know Christ, and to speak to others of our friendship with Him."

From these words, the mission of St. Robert Bellarmine Catholic Newman Center was born and is lived out in the following areas. Click below to read more.
