  Newman and Amazon.com    Help Support Newman when buying your Textbooks On-line!  
Buying Textbooks is no fun and they're way too expensive... 
but, you can take some of the sting out of it by using the Newman Website. 

Buy at the Amazon Textbook Store and Newman will get a percentage of the sale (up to 10%). The kick-back to Newman will not increase the cost to you (though it will not make your purchase any cheaper either... sorry) but at least you can feel good that some of your money is going to help Newman!

Also, checkout the Newman Center Store or simply go to Amazon.com by first clicking on any of the links on the Newman Web site for any other purchases and Newman gets a percentage of the sale.  
  ATTENTION STUDENTS: Find Your Picture and get Free Food!!
That's right! If you find that Fr Doug has shamelessly used your photo anywhere on the Newman Website, then it's his treat at the Newman Café 
(up to $10) Here's the rules:
  • Print out the portion of the Newman web page that includes your photo.
  • Try to find Fr Doug at Newman (ya gotta find Fr Doug - there's no use going straight to the Café, they wont know what your talking about).
  • Once you find Fr Doug, present him with the web page printout and your student ID while at the same time demanding that he take you immediately to the Café to claim your 'up to $5' worth of food.
  • DON'T GET GREEDY: You photogenic types might find your picture used several times on the web site... sorry, only one prize per person (what? do ya think Fr Doug's made of money or something?).
  • Ordained Clergy, Newman Staff and their relatives (no matter how cute) are NOT eligible (what? do ya think Fr Doug's made of money or something?)
  FOCUS: Meet the 2007 / 2008 Edition!
Our 2007/2008 Fellowship of Catholic University Students missionaries have arrived on campus. From left to right meet: Luke, Megan, Keegan and Trisha. Megan and Keegan are returning from last year. Luke and Trisha are brand new to Newman. So come on over and meet the team. Checkout the FOCUS page for more info.
Introducing: Vespers at Newman, Daily at 5:15p
Vespers (Evening Prayer) is part of the 'Liturgy of the Hours' (also called the Divine Office), the official prayer of the Church. The 'Liturgy of the Hours' fulfills the Gospel command to 'pray constantly.' 

Recently, Newman students and extended community members have discovered the beauty of this ancient liturgy. We are now gathering daily at 5:15p in Our Lady Seat of Wisdom Chapel to pray vespers in community.

Everyone is welcome. Copies of the Office will be provided and we will be happy to guide newcomers through this beautiful liturgy.

 Ministry Opportunities: Sick Calls
Please consider joining Deacon Lucien Miller on sick calls with the gift or yourself and the Eucharist. Three opportunities are available.
