Welcome! We are a group of young Catholic students committed to deepening our faith through fellowship, scripture, and prayer. We seek to glorify God by supporting each other in living out the fullness of life in Christ through the awesome teachings of the Catholic Church. We meet students where they are, encouraging open honest discussion about our culture and faith. Jesus said, Go therefore and make disciples of all nations (Mt 28:19). Our ultimate goal is to become the presence of Christ on campus, giving God permission to do what He wants to do in our lives. We explore many faith-related topics at our meetings, including salvation, sin, the Trinity, Mary, the Eucharist, and other Sacraments, the lives of the Saints, etc. We also discuss controversial hot topics such as homosexuality, contraception, and abortion, in the hopes that we can both understand our faith and be able to share it with others with greater clarity. We regularly engage in prayer through lectio divina (prayerful reading of the Scriptures), praise and worship, and other forms of prayer. We have fun activities such as laser tag, movie nights and games nights, men’s and women’s nights, and lots of parties with food. We also volunteer to give back to the London community, at locations such as St. Joseph’s Hospitality Centre and the London Food Bank. Feel free to reach out to us on Instagram @western.newman to see how you can get involved!

The Palestinian Cultural Club is a student club created with the goal of celebrating the beauty that is Palestine. Palestine is in the media often but rarely showcasing the aesthetic, the richness of its history or even the significant and prestigious religious presence. Although the politics is very relevant, we want to showcase the heritage & culture of Palestine. Being that most are unable to visit, this is our effort to provide all of our members a home away from home. Through our inclusive events and social media platforms, our aim is to expand the club by giving it a voice. Our club is, of course, open to every person that has a curiosity and love for Palestine and its culture… we welcome everyone.
