The Diocese of Corpus Christi came upon the opportunity to develop the St. Thomas Aquinas Newman Center & Chapel with the Newman Connection. Both had a vision to strengthen the campus ministry in Texas A&M University Kingsville. The Newman Connection is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing support and structure to Newman Centers across the country. The St. Thomas Aquinas Newman Center & Chapel is centrally located in Texas A&M University Kingsville and includes:
A Chapel -The chapel provides an intimate place to pray, reflect and give thanks to our Lord for young adults and students at the University.
The Newman Center - The Newman Center in Texas A&M–Kingsville will provide pastoral services and ministries to the students of the university.
Dormitories - Built and funded by the Newman Connection, these dormitories will house around 300 students. The proceeds generated from the dormitories will be used to support the Newman Center ministry.
