About the Parish

The Roncalli Newman Parish is a Roman Catholic community of students of the University of Wisconsin - La Crosse and Western Technical College, with their faculty and staff and stationary members from the greater La Crosse area. Our primary mission is to invite the student community at UW-L and WTC to know God in Christ, to enrich their lives through prayer, to promote Christian values, and to educate for justice and peace.

We provide an environment for students of Catholic background, or who may be interested in Catholicism, to grow in faith through study, worship, spirituality, fellowship and service. While sponsored by the Catholic Community, our doors are open to students of all backgrounds and interests.
