Yearning to find ways that we, as a parish, and each of us, as individuals, can build the common good in the St Cloud area and beyond?  Consider joining the ministry of our Peace and Social Justice Group. We provide opportunities for Newman members and campus communities to learn about and act upon local, national, and global concerns (e.g. homelessness; immigration; racism), rooted in the social justice values of the Gospel, Catholic Social Teaching, and our democracy.
