Building Campaign

The Newman Center changes lives. Every day, young people gather here for fellowship, teaching, prayer, and participation in the Sacraments. Their growth at the Newman Center prepares them to go out to parishes as committed missionary disciples. These young people will be leaders in their parishes for the coming generations. They will step up in the vocation of marriage and in religious callings. They are our future.

The chief limitation in reaching even more students for Christ is our inadequate building. The current Newman Center has served us well for nearly 60 years. However, we no longer have enough room to host the many meetings, Bible studies, prayer groups and more. We struggle with a household kitchen to serve the 5,000 meals we offer each year to draw students in. Mass at the Newman Center requires us to use four overflow spaces, where participants have to watch on video screens instead of directly joining others in this sacred time.

We are on the edge of launching a new Newman Center, a beautiful sacred space and home for community, but we need you. Your gift will help build a center that invites students into relationship with Christ for the next century.

Please take a moment to view this short video about what it means to build a new center. Then, prayerfully consider how your sacrificial gift can change lives for the Kingdom of God. At the Newman Center, everything we do is to help students encounter Christ so that they may be formed as missionary disciples.  I invite you to make a gift today so that more students can know Christ! 

Peace,
