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.

Nick Chancey is the Campus Minister and Director of the Marshall Catholic Newman Center. Nick actually became Catholic through the RCIA program at the Marshall Newman Center and served as a student leader there. After graduating with his BA in History in 2015, Nick went on to serve as a Missionary-Intern for the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston’s youth office. Upon finishing his ministry internship, Nick went on to serve as the Campus Minister for the University of Charleston and West Virginia State University. After 3 years of building the Catholic campus community in Charleston Nick came back to his Alma-Mater in 2019 as the Newman Center’s new Director. He very much looks forward to welcoming students back in the fall once pandemic restrictions have hopefully lifted. When Nick isn’t ministering to students he’s busy studying for his online Master’s degree in Catechesis through Catholic University of America. He also enjoys spending time with his wife and daughter.
