The Newman Catholic Center needs your support!

The mission of the Newman Catholic Center is to guide young adults, especially Catholic young men and women, in the call to holiness while they live out their life as college students.

As we launch this capital campaign for rebuilding the Newman Center we would like to ask for your help in whatever way you are able to give!

Prayer for the Rebuild

My Jesus, I ask You to direct and guide the build project and to bring together Your Church to support the mission of the Newman Catholic Center. Shepherd our planning, provide for our needs, and guide us with Your skilled and sacred carpenter’s hands.

Lord, use me as an instrument in this work! You have created me for service, and have chosen me from all eternity for such a time as this - let me be an instrument in the accomplishment of Your will today.

Father, we place all our cares in You. Amen. St. John Henry Newman, intercede for us!

Floorplan

The proposed new building will be a 5000-square foot facility featuring a gathering space to accommodate approximately 100 students and a Chapel that is 150% larger than the current one and will comfortably seat more than 70 students for the celebration of Mass. There will be a library/reading room which can serve for Bible Study and is 65% larger than current space. Included will be a reinforced safe area in the event of severe weather, attractive study and meeting rooms, office space for the director and FOCUS staff, a modern kitchen for cooking meals, and larger, separate bathrooms.
