The Newman Institute is a charitable organisation working in conjunction with the Diocese of Killala in the west of Ireland. A core aim of the Newman Institute is to provide an opportunity for people to learn more about their faith through accredited and non-accredited faith formation courses. It is hoped that the Newman Institute will be able to play its part in addressing the ongoing need for Adult Religious Education and Faith Formation in the Diocese of Killala and beyond.
In October 2010 the Newman Institute's adult education and faith formation centre was officially opened by President Mary McAleese.
The institutes facilities are used by a variety of groups, such as Toastmasters, Mayo Stroke Support Group, General Humbert Summer School among others.
