The Newman Idea's IKON maintains these core principles: 

Integrity of Heart
An understanding of temperament, character, soul and body which flows from the Heart (Prvb. 4:23)

Knowledge, Faith, and Wisdom:
Christians must engage “religious truth” alongside secular truth as they strive to grow in Wisdom.

Open to Holiness
The life of the mind can be a way of the heart in our personal call to holiness.

Newman's Personal Influence:
All Catholic Christians need in person formation to grow morally, spiritually, and intellectually.

"I wish [for students] to be at once oracles of philosophy and shrines of devotion…It will not satisfy me, if religion is here, and science there, and young people converse with science all day, and lodge with religion in the evening... I want the same roof to contain both the intellectual and moral discipline."

–St. John Henry Cardinal Newman

The Newman Idea has a mission: "Clear Heads and Holy Hearts".   We believe students need grow their faith through learning to integrate it with their university studies - as clarity of mind expands, so do opportunities to strive for holiness!
