Newman Theological College

Join other young adults once a month on a Monday evening and dive into the mysteries of our faith. This year, we will jurney through "Magnifica Humanitas", the first Encyclical Letter of Pope Leo XIV, with guest lectures from the Newman Theological College community.

Congratulations to Dr. Melanie Turgeon and the Choral Traditions in the Eastern Christian Church class (FND 390B & 658C) for a very successful course! This was a brand-new course offered through Newman Theological College in Edmonton. The final concert, a culmination of Dr. Turgeon and the student's week-long hard work, was held on Sunday, July 12, 2026 at St. Josaphat Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral.

We had so much fun at the 34th Annual Newman Golf Classic! 🏌️‍♂️

The Foundation of St. Joseph Seminary & Newman Theological College put on a wonderful tournament in support of NTC & St. Joseph's shared missions. Thank you to all our generous sponsors and especially to Volvo Edmonton.

See you next year on the greens!

Please join us for this special Mass on July 16 and keep Daniel and Andrew in your prayers as they continue their journey toward the priesthood.

Almighty God, giver of every grace, send your Holy Spirit into our midst to assist Andrew and Daniel as they prepare for ordination to the Transitional Diaconate, ready to offer themselves forever in the ministry of the Word, of the altar, and charity, as servants to all.
