News

Welcome Week has come and gone, but it seems that the events keep on going. For our big event, the BBQ, we had about 620 people come through the Newman Center and get some burgers and hot dogs. All of the food was generously donated to us by Joe Waugh of Waugh Foods and it tasted great. The Sisters from the Heading Ave Franciscans were there to serve the food and Sam Joseph from the Knights of Columbus Spalding Council 427 was there to cook up the burgers and dogs. The Swansons also added their years of experience to make sure that everyone was going well and helped everything run smoothly.

The activities just seem to keep going here at the Newman Center. FOCUS had a Pizza and Root Beer Kegger which was a HUGE success, then they threw the Annual Freshman Camping Trip, which also had a good turnout. Their Why Green Sex is Best event, which promotes NFP and abstinence happens tonight, Tuesday the 31st. Then this weekend is the Annual Pool Party at Camp Kearney. There just always seems to be something to do at the Newman Center.

It's exciting to see some old faces come back around to the Newman Center for masses and all these activities, but it's especially exciting to be able to spot some new faces. Not just freshmen, but also those sophomores, juniors, seniors and even grad students that only recently discovered the Newman Center and the opportunities that we have to offer. Daily masses have already started and we hope that adoration will be able to start soon as well; sign up for those time slots!

Please pray for us as we continue in our outreach and strive to shine the love of Christ to everyone on campus. As we offer activities and opportunities for everyone to be involved with, we hope that they find that Newman really can be their home away from home.
