Who We Are

The Marshall Catholic Newman Center has operated as the base for the greater Catholic Community at Marshall University for 40 years. Established by the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston in April of 1981, it has been our mission to bring students together in an intentionally Catholic environment so that they may come know, love, and serve Jesus Christ and His Church. We welcome all Marshall University students, staff, and faculty. If you are a prospective student or parent we would love to have you schedule a tour to meet our staff and student leaders.

Virtual Tour

Small chapel with wooden chairs, a white-clothed altar, a crucifix, and religious art on pale green walls. Stained glass windows allow light into the peaceful, simply decorated room.

Chapel – This small quiet space is perfect for some one-on-one time with God. This is a great place to pray and spend time with our Lord, who is truly present in the tabernacle. Mass is celebrated either in the Chapel or the Sanctuary every Sunday during the Fall and Spring semesters at 5:00 PM.

A modern kitchen with bold red walls, wooden cabinets, black countertops, stainless steel appliances, a checkered black-and-white tile floor, and various kitchen items on the counters.

Carole’s Kitchen – Named after our very dear friend who was a mother to many students over the years, this kitchen is where our famous “Dinner for a Dollar” meals are prepared every Thursday at 6:00 PM. Students are welcome to utilize this space for their own cooking projects and dietary needs. Snacks and refreshments are always available!

A cozy room with green walls, a beige sectional sofa, a large gray bean bag chair, and a wooden coffee table. Marshall University decor, including banners and a logo pillow, is displayed on the walls and table.

Newman Lounge – Whether it’s a board game night, racing for the finish line in Mario Kart, bible study, or making a study nest out of one of our massive bean bags, our Newman Lounge is a place for students to come and get cozy. Kick your shoes off and make yourself at home!

A chapel interior with a central altar, a large crucifix on the wall, stained glass windows on either side, rows of chairs, a piano to the left, chandeliers, and wooden ceiling beams above.

Sanctuary – Mass is celebrated either in the Chapel or the Sanctuary every Sunday during the Fall and Spring semesters at 5:00 PM.

A group of people sits around tables covered with checkered tablecloths, eating and talking in a large, warmly lit room with wooden ceilings and chandeliers. Some people are standing near the back, serving food.

Dining Hall – This is where we share a meal together during Dinner for a Dollar! Come and enjoy good food and fellowship!
