Newman UCD encourages and supports Catholic belief on campus, promoting fellowship & faith formation. The society holds a variety of events throughout the year including talks, Youth 2000 meetings, retreats, interfaith gatherings, movie screenings, social evenings, & excursions. Plenty of craic will be mixed in too!
We are a vibrant Catholic community on campus, which is also welcoming towards those of all faiths and none. At our events you can always expect to be greeted in a warm, friendly & inclusive atmosphere.
"If we follow the voice of God, we shall be brought step by step into a new world, of which before we had no idea." In the face of the many trials that student life can bring, we seek to live the quoted words of Blessed Newman, founder of UCD, in a spirit of trust & joy, as we make together our pilgrimage of faith.

UCD Christian Union
The Christian Union is a group of students who are united in our desire to know Jesus Christ more. We want Christian students to grow deeper in faith, love andknowledge of Jesus, and for non-Christians to come into contact with the gospel and be given the opportunity to hear and respond to it. The gospel forms the core convictions of the CU as we aim to equip students to live a life devoted to Christ on campus and beyond.
We meet every Tuesday evening at 6.30 (with prayer from 6) for our main meeting where we join together in worship and learn from God’s word about relevant issues. It’s a relaxed environment which provides opportunities for discussion and asking questions, as well as plenty of time for fellowship and a cup of tea if you’re lucky!
Throughout the week we run a range of different activities including iCafe, sports, small groups and other outreach events. Check out our Facebook page to find out more and keep up to date with everything that’s going on. All are very welcome!

FOCUS
We don't know where you're at or where you're coming from. Maybe you've been Catholic your whole life, or maybe not. Perhaps you're eager to get connected, or maybe you're just curious. The truth is, we're open to anyone who wants to ask for prayer or chat about life. Come as you are, with your unique story, and we'll do the same thing.
The best way to get to know FOCUS is to connect with one of our missionaries on campus. Don't hesitate to send one of us a text or an email.
