University Parish Newman Center

Why Support Us on #iGiveCatholic?

The University Parish Newman Center is excited to participate in the 2025 Day of Giving to seek additional funding for our parish life, outreach ministries, and student parishioners at Kent State University. Your generous contributions through #iGiveCatholic will directly benefit our parish community, campus ministry, and the Catholic Student Association (CSA) of Kent State.

This past summer, we've undertaken several important maintenance projects, including:

• $7,000 to replace and install new lighting in the Newman Center Social Hall.
• $6,000 to replace the flooring in the Newman library (our new offices).
• Continued maintenance and upgrades to our parish camera and security system.
• Replacement of our parish sound system - both in the chapel and social hall.

Looking ahead, we have more projects planned, such as:

• Continuing to support our college students and campus ministry programs.
• Providing financial assistance to our students and the CSA.
• Maintaining and replacing tile and carpeted floors in the fireside lounge.
• Possible addition of parking spaces in the rear parking lot at Newman. 

Your gift, no matter the amount, will make a meaningful impact. We deeply appreciate your support!
