What is a Newman Center?
We mention something called a "Newman Center" multiple times throughout our podcast. A Newman Center is a Catholic community/church centered at secular universities, serving undergrad students and young professionals to help them grow in their faith as young adults. If you haven't heard of a Newman Center and are looking for a community, try a Google search and see if there's one near you!
