SDSU Newman Center

We provide a place for students to form friendships, worship, and nurture their faith while attending San Diego State University.

About Us

Catholic Campus Ministry, more commonly known as the SDSU Newman Center, is a part of the Catholic Diocese of San Diego that reaches out to the students at San Diego State University. The Newman Center has been ministering to students for more than 40 years. While we proudly come from the Catholic perspective, we invite and welcome students from any, or no, faith background to explore the big questions of life with us.

Where Are We Located?

The Newman Center is located in a house just steps away from the campus at the end of Hardy Avenue, close to College Avenue. The house is located near South Campus Plaza, Student Union and the parking lot of Trader Joe’s.
