This congregation member of the Roman Catholic Church, arrived to Argentina with a mission: "Fight the Good Fight (in Latin: Certa Bonum Certamen). Educate men with the vision of his founder, Edmund Ignatius Rice 1762–1844. Honesty, loyalty, solidarity, and deep moral values; give them the strength to fight for good causes, with honor and moral integrity".

Notable rugby players who started their career in Newman include Cristian Viel, Agustín Canalda, Francisco Irrarázabal, Felipe Contepomi, Manuel Contepomi, Marcos Ayerza and Agustin Gosio.
