As a university parish entrusted by the Church with a specific mission, we fully embrace our ministry of serving as a strong Catholic presence at Kent State University. By focusing on worship, learning, and service to the local and global community, we accompany our students toward lifelong commitment to faith and to our Tradition. Enriched by many persons from within and beyond the university, we commit ourselves to the hospitality, generosity, and prayerfulness that mark those gathered at the table of the Risen Lord. 

About CSA

The Catholic Student Association (CSA) is the university sponsored student group which is dedicated to worship, social justice, faith development, and community for Kent State students, both Catholic and non-Catholic alike. Our office is housed at the University Parish Newman Center.

Every Catholic student is automatically a member of CSA, but you are encouraged to take an active role in our organization to take advantage of the perks that come with being an active and engaged member (like food!).

Share your gifts with our student organization and with our faith community! Leadership opportunities are not limited to formal positions. Our community thrives on diversity of membership, programming and ideas.
