Saint Thomas More Catholic Newman Center

About this church

The St. Thomas More Catholic Newman Center serves the University of Arizona Catholic community and the surrounding area of Tucson from 1615 E. Second Street, at the northeast corner of Second Street and Cherry Avenue. Weekend Masses are Sunday at 9 a.m., 11 a.m. and 5 p.m., with a Saturday vigil at 5:15 p.m. The 11 a.m. Sunday Mass is live-streamed on Facebook and YouTube. Weekday Mass is Tuesday through Friday at 5:15 p.m., and confession is Saturdays at 4 p.m. or by appointment. Morning and evening prayer from the Liturgy of the Hours are offered Tuesday through Friday. The campus ministry traces its start to 1926 as the Newman Club.

Student and young adult life includes The Torch small group Bible studies, which meet on weeknight evenings and include men's, women's, co-ed, athlete and Spanish-language groups, along with a student ministry team, a FOCUS missionary team, a music ministry and a young adult community. The center also hosts RCIA for those becoming Catholic and Confirmation preparation. Parking on site is limited, and a permit is required on weekdays, while nearby university lots can be used after 5 p.m. and on weekends when no events are scheduled. The Sun Link streetcar stops in front of the chapel. Confirm Mass times with the center, since they can change during the academic year.
