Volunteer
There are many ways to get involved at the Newman Center, including Service & Justice ministries and Liturgy & Music ministries. While looking through our site, if you find a ministry that calls to you, please don't hesitate to contact the staff liaison or group leader and ask how you can become involved in that ministry!
Special AnnouncementDue to the coronavirus pandemic and for the health and safety of our volunteers and all they serve, we're cancelling most volunteer participation in our ministries for now.

Work for Justice No justice is possible without power! We build our power through our community and relationships. This fall join us in small sacred conversations (happening virtually on Zoom) to share what you are personally concerned about and to engage in what John Lewis calls, “Good Trouble.” B.R.E.A.D. has 24 years of success in acting for justice. These actions have made Columbus and Franklin County a more equitable place. We know there is more to be done and we need you. You are invited to sign up for one of our listening sessions listed below. Sign-up today! You can also say YES when you receive a phone call inviting you to join us in justice. For questions or more information, please contact us at bread@buckeyecatholic.com or (614) 261-0143. Blood Drive Save the Date! The Newman Center will be hosting a Red Cross Blood Drive on Sunday, Nov. 22 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. COVID-19 safety protocols will be in place so sign-up to donate blood and save lives!
