Testimonial from a
Newman Ministry donor
ELIZABETH FOJTU
Newman Ministry was very important to me during my college years at a secular university. The Newman house off-campus was a safe haven. I fondly remember spaghetti dinners, Bible study, and hanging out at the house with friends. I was also very involved in the volunteer service opportunities through Newman and Masses in the interfaith chapel. All of these activities provided for me a home during an important time in my spiritual and social growth.
Newman Ministry provides support for students, campus ministers and a lifeline for all who seek a relationship with God. In addition to my own experience, my eldest son also participated in Newman activities at his college campus. My youngest son will be attending college soon, and I pray for a Catholic presence for him in his life away from home. I donate to Newman Ministry because the salvation of souls is a most worthy effort. We must work to keep our young people centered on Christ when society aggressively promotes a life opposed to Christ and Christian values.
Here's what Donors are saying about our programs:
“As a Youth Minister, I would love to have a way to help connect our graduates to a Campus Ministry.”

Newman has a direct impact on Campus Ministry:
“Hi, my name is Armando Cervantes, and I'm the Director of Youth and Young Adult Ministry for the Diocese of Orange, and I'm excited to share with you how much Newman Connection just makes a huge difference in our diocese, and for the young people especially.
Newman every single year ensures that we are engaging our high school seniors in a way that they can get connected to Catholic campuses and Catholic communities at the university levels. That makes a world of difference when someone has a personal connection and Newman Connection always makes that happen.
I thank their donors and all their work, because they're always just trying to connect our young people into the campus ministry settings and colleges.”
Armando Cervantes
Director of Youth and Young Adult Ministry for the Diocese of Orange
We cherish our relationships at the Diocese level:
“I am grateful for the work that Newman Connection does and for the fruit it bears in the lives of our young people. As we strive to imitate our Lord, the Good Shepherd, it is crucial that we can find our sheep, even as they move to college campuses throughout the country.”
Bishop John Brungardt
Catholic Diocese of Dodge City
