The Newman Catholic Student Center serves the Catholic community at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, both university students and community members.
We dedicate ourselves to proclaiming and sharing the Word of God, to celebrating the sacraments, to fostering community, to offering service to those in need, to attending to the faith dimensions of personal growth, and to promoting peace and justice.
Some of our events and services include Bible studies, retreats, free Thursday night dinners for students, service opportunities, and various social activities.
Our Mass time on Sunday is 12 noon year round. Our daily Masses are Tuesday 5:15pm and Thursday 5:15pm, with Confession after the Tuesday Mass. Daily Masses on Monday and Wednesday are available at noon at the parish in Carbondale, St. Francis Xavier and at 8:30am Monday through Thursday at St. Andrew in Murphysboro.
