We are a campus ministry program of the Diocese of Peoria, Illinois. While we are located on the campus of Bradley University, we serve the students of Illinois Central College and OSF College of Nursing as well. Newman Centers exist to radiate Jesus Christ in Word and Sacrament to the entire University community: students, faculty, staff and alumni. We hope to be a presence of Catholic doctrine and a witness to the power of the Sacraments in the lives of all we encounter. While a secular, non-sectarian private university, we believe that Bradley University is a center of Catholic life and study because of the presence of the St. Joseph Newman Center.
