Every Semester we have a Koinonia Retreat! Koinonia is a Greek word that means fellowship. This is a student led retreat that gives students a chance to learn more about their faith and grow in community at Newman.

The retreat happens off-campus and is a chance to dive into your faith, hear other students share about their faith, small groups and other fun things! The retreats starts Friday afternoon and continues through Sunday!

The retreat costs $50 but if the cost is a problem, please reach out to Emily; scholarships are available. Don't let the cost be the reason you don't go!

If you have any questions, reach out to Emily at [email protected]. 

Register Today for NK68!

Our Fall Koinonia will be October 23-25

Interested in being on Team for the next Koinonia?

Once you've been on a Koinonia Retreat you are able to serve on Team. Behind every retreat there is a team of students that make it possible! These students commit to Sunday Afternoon meetings in the weeks leading up to the retreat and helping during the retreat weekend.

You are eligible for team once you've been on a Koinonia, even if the retreat you attended was several semesters ago you are still able to apply!

Application are now closed for the Fall retreat! If you have any questions, reach out to Emily at [email protected]
