About us
The Louvain Newman Society is a Catholic organization whose goal is to assist individuals, particularly students, in deepening their love for Jesus Christ and their knowledge of the Catholic faith. Inspired by Saint John Henry Cardinal Newman, the members of the LNS seek to develop clear heads and holy hearts primarily through worship—liturgical and devotional—and intellectual discussion about the doctrines of the faith. In its faith, the LNS embraces a spirit of frankness and fidelity to the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. In its worship, the LNS respects and promotes the liturgical norms prescribed by the same Church. Through this twofold fidelity, exercised in fellowship with one another, the LNS hopes to witness ever more to the “Light of the Nations,” which is Christ. The Society is open to all who seek His face.
