The Roncalli Newman Center
Your new home away from home!

While the Roncalli Newman Center is the Catholic parish for students at the University of Wisconsin and Western Technical College campuses, our doors are open to all people of good will. We are here because students from other places are studying on state campuses in La Crosse. It is our desire that you spend some time with us so you might better stay in touch with things that matter more, like your relationship with God. We think you will like what you find here. Whether you are looking for a quiet place for prayer or study, a place to find someone to listen to whatever concerns you might have, or a place to come to if you’d just like to chill out and relax, you are always welcome here. Make the Roncalli Newman Center your new home away from home.
Our newly renovated chapel is open early in the morning and remains open until late into the evening for anyone looking for some peace and quiet. There is almost daily Mass at noon, as well as a variety of ongoing prayer experiences that students are welcome to participate in.

The lower level of the Center has a number of rooms that are just the thing for quiet study or for group projects. Students are welcome to come and make use of these spaces as needed to help you in your work. For your convenience, the entire building is Wifi accessible with the password "churches".

The Bartl Fireplace Lounge is a great place for students to chill. Comfortable furniture in a pleasant setting provides an atmosphere for relaxation with friends. It's the perfect spot to take a break from the books. There is plenty of room for your friends as well.
