<p><span>"The Office of Young Adult and Campus Ministry represents the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston to the Universities located within the Archdiocese. Through campus Newman Centers we seek to evangelize the academic community by means of a broad ministry which forms the faith community, appropriates the faith, forms Christian conscience, educates for justice, facilitates personal development, and develops leaders for the future. We see the Church entering into the very heart of the academic community, challenging faculty, staff, students and institutions with the claims of the Gospel.&nbsp;</span><br><br><span>Catholic Campus Ministry are often called "Newman Centers" after John Henry Cardinal Newman (1801-1890). An Anglican theologian at Oxford, he became a Catholic in 1844, and left a legacy as an important Catholic theologian and apologist. His idea of a University is a classic in theory of higher education."</span><br><br><span>-Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston</span></p>
