Become a St. Thomas More Newman Catholic Center Partner and Invest in the Future Leaders of the Catholic Church!
Today, Minnesota State University has roughly 14,000 students at the Mankato campus, with an estimated 5,000 of those students being Catholic! The St. Thomas More Catholic Newman Center remains a hub of positive campus activity – a place where Catholic students of every age and from all over the world – come together to worship, receive the sacraments, discover the Catholic tradition, discern vocations, attend life-altering retreats, participate in service-oriented ministries and give time and talent to assist the poor and hungry. These are but a few of the opportunities for formation, study, mentoring and action that are offered regularly at the St. Thomas More Catholic Newman Center.
As Catholics, it is our responsibility to build the Church on campus. We must sustain the vital contributions to intellectual, moral and spiritual growth that campus ministry provides for young people. The goal of the St. Thomas More Catholic Newman Center is to continue to build up the Body of Christ in our Church and our world.
There are countless ways that people support the ministry to the students at the St. Thomas More Catholic Newman Center. The Cardinal Newman Fund, Director's Fund and Living Faith Society are just three possibilities.
CARDINAL NEWMAN FUND:
Members of the Cardinal Newman Fund are benefactors who make an extraordinary gift of $10,000 or more annually. Gifts received through the Cardinal Newman Fund allow Father Tim Biren and the campus ministry staff to reach more students more effectively. Following in the footsteps of Cardinal Newman, members help bring the St. Thomas More Catholic Newman Center one step closer to achieving his vision of a strong Catholic presence on campus. Membership includes special recognition in the annual report and an annual subscription to the devotional Magnificat.
DIRECTOR'S FUND:
The Director’s Fund is an integral part of maintaining the excellence of the St. Thomas More Catholic Newman Center. Members of the Director’s Fund pledge an annual gift of $2,500 or more which sustains current ministry programs and enables us to enhance the ministry. Annual gifts made through the Director’s Fund help ensure that the Catholic faith is shared by future generations on the Minnesota State University, Mankato campus. Membership in the Director’s Fund includes special recognition in the annual report.
LIVING FAITH SOCIETY:
One of the most significant ways you can support the Catholic Center is through the Living Faith Society. Gifts made through the Living Faith Society are drafted electronically each month directly from your checking account, credit card or debit card making giving simple. Membership provides a stable support base that directly assists with on-going operational expenses, while reducing fundraising overhead. Members will receive the quarterly devotional, Living Faith. You can increase, decrease, hold or discontinue your contribution at any time simply by contacting the St. Thomas More Catholic Newman Center. If you are interested in signing up, click here!
