The George Washington University Newman Catholic Student Center

The GW Newman Center exists to make students into saints in the Nation's Capital. With over a dozen bible studies, daily Mass, confessions, and Holy Hour; two Sunday Masses (250+); many social events; a burgeoning OCIA class; and multiple semesterly retreat, we rely on your financial support to continue to allow our students to encounter Christ! 

This year's campaign has two goals:

1) A very Newman Christmas Wishlist. These are items for the Newman Center that will allow us to continue to cultivate the culture of hospitality, festivity, and fun. 

2) FOCUS Missionaries. This Fall we have expanded by bringing on a team of four full time FOCUS missionaries! This expansion has significantly increased our ability to reach more souls for Christ on campus. But this expansion also carries with it a corresponding cost. $10,000 of our goal is directed to offsetting some of this fee! 

May God bless you for your generosity! 

The very Newman Wishlist: If you would like to make a purchase for any (or all!) of these, please just note that in your donation.

• 2 Outdoor space heaters + propane tank. $200 each. 
  • Due to our increase student engagement, this will provide for use of our deck during the winter months!
• Deck Furniture. $1,000
  • We all love to sit. Furniture makes this possible.
• Kitchen aid. $350
  • What more do college kids love than food? This cost and time saving appliance allows for more home-cooked meals for the students, and less need to cater. 
• Circular area rug. $500
  • A little bit of class goes a long way.
• 2 Custom Door Matts. $350 each. Our doormats are in a desperate state. They need to be replaced. And when replacing them, GW Catholics branding assists the students with a fitting sense of belonging.
