Give to Newman

Grace is Free...
but it can't pay the Electric Bill

Sure, the Newman Catholic Center serves a lot of students but it costs a lot of money to run. The Diocese of Springfield, the students and the extended community do all they can to keep the doors open, but we can't do it on our own.

We need your help. 

Please consider becoming a Newman Benefactor. It's easy, you can do it right now on-line, and best of all it's tax deductible

Here are a few ways that you can help support 
the Newman Catholic Center:
Make-A-Gift: Making a gift or pledge online is fast, easy and secure. Use your Visa, MasterCard or Discover card to make a
difference at Newman. You may make a one time gift or payment on
a pledge by simply clicking on the gift box at the left. Cooperate
Matching Gifts can also be handled on-line.
Newman Benefactor Circles: By committing to an annual
donation to Newman you will help us stabilize our income and give
us the freedom to focus our efforts on serving the needs of our
students. Please consider joining:
  •   The Cardinal Newman Circle  $2500/yr  or more
  •   The Fr Joe Quigley Circle        $1000/yr  or more
  •   The New Graduate Circle          $250/yr  or more

Contact David Rondina for details and to join. (413) 549-0300 x27

Newman Wish List: Here you will find all the 'things' that the Newman staff and community would love to have, but can't affored: Items that would enhance the beauty of our Chapel; Items that would help our students grow in the Faith; Items that would enable the staff to do their jobs even better. Priorities and budget constraints dictate that we have to get along without all these 'things'. However, if you would like to purchase one of these items for us...
ParishPay: Regular and automatic donations to the Newman
Center is simple and secure when you use ParishPay. This on-line
service lets you set up your own custom donation plan. It's a great
way to get rid of those old fashioned Church Envelopes. Click on the
ParishPay icon to find out how to set up  your account right now. 
Planned Giving: The Newman Center has an excellent and
comprehensive Planned Giving Program for alumnae, families and
friends who want to help secure the long term future of our campus
ministry by utilizing gifting strategies that will benefit both the Center
and themselves. Planned gifts often consist of gifts of assets rather
than checks or cash. So talk it over with your family and then 
contact our Development Office to implement your bequest.
Shop at Amazon.com: Shop at Amazon.com, by first clicking
any Amazon.com link on our Newman Website, and the Center will
receive a percentage of your purchase (%6.5 on average). This does
not increase the cost to you
. Basically, Amazon is paying us to
advertise for them. We even have our own Newman Center Store,
powered by Amazon. Any purchases made at the Newman Center
Store, or from the regular Amazon site (after first linking to Amazon
from our site) results in Newman receiving a percentage of the sale. 




Shop at Amazon.com!
By simply using this link, Newman will get a percentage of the sale. 
What a great way to help support Newman!
