The Association is a member of Pax Romana, the international Catholic “movement for intellectual and cultural affairs”. Pax Romana is a recognised non-Governmental organisation accredited to the United Nations in New York and Vienna as well as to UNESCO. The Newman Association’s International Committee acts as a focus for contacts with the Pax Romana headquarters in Switzerland. Pax Romana organises regular conferences and assemblies that give opportunities for stimulating discussion about aspects of faith in contemporary life.

NBCW - The National Board of Catholic Women
The National Board of Catholic Women has had links with The Newman Association for a long time and has a strong theological base. The Association uses its wide network to give active support to the NBCW’s work. The Board provides the Association with women’s perspectives on theological issues and spirituality. The Newman Association values the Board’s links with national Catholic bodies; and its membership of secular organisations such as the National Council of Women helps to ensure that the informed views of Catholic women are heard in secular society.

NCLA - The National Council for Lay Associations
The National Council for Lay Associations is consulted by the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales. The NCLA aims to respond to requests from the Bishops Conference and to bring matters of concern to the laity to their attention. It also acts as a forum for discussion and networking among lay organisations including the Newman Association.
