A Quote from a Student:
“Ever since I joined the Newman Community I’ve kind of felt my faith grow a little bit more each day. It sounds ridiculous because I’ve been raised in such a background of Christian activity—but I suppose as I have matured it’s seemed more and more acceptable for me to be outwardly Catholic. I really want to get more involved than I am right now. I want to see where this takes me. I love all of you guys, and thanks for accepting me into your community. : )”
Another way to help the Newman Center—Good Search Fundraiser
If you use www.goodsearch.com as your search engine and enter either “St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Newman Community” or “”Catholic Newman Community” where it says “enter your charity here,” they will donate half of their advertising revenue to the Newman Center.

It is nice to see eScrip donations listed on the Newman Center bank statement. We are receiving these donations because of you. You can help us with no cost to you! Sign up for e-Scrip! All you need to do is register your grocery club cards and debit/credit cards with e-Scrip, shop at the local participating merchants and the merchants contribute a percentage of your purchases back to the Catholic Community! It’s that easy! You can register online at http://www.escrip.com. The Catholic Newman Center group ID is 500003569. Thank you for your support.
