Bishop Burbidge Discusses Importance of Prayer in Wake of Tragic Events

What's New at Newman?

Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do.
Pope John XXIII

Faith in Action

Picture
Empowered by the Spirit of God in the Word and enabled by the love of God in the Eucharist we are called to live the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

At the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made, how many great things we have done. We will be judged by 'I was hungry and you gave me to eat, I was naked and you clothed me, I was homeless and you took me in.' Hungry not only for bread - but hungry for love. Naked not only for clothing - but naked for human dignity and respect. Homeless not only for want of a room of bricks - but homeless because of rejection.
~St. Teresa of Avila

The Faith in Action page includes information on Alternative Spring Break, JusticeWalking, local service opportunities, and much, much more!

Catechesis

Picture
Faith is not just doctrine to be learned for a lifetime. It’s a vibrant relationship with the living God, a commitment to the personal growth and spiritual conversion of an on-going journey of faith. The Newman Parish warmly invites you to deepen your faith and your relationship with God through participation in our catechesis programs. Ironically, one of the best ways to learn more about your faith is to teach! The root meaning of the word catechist is “to echo.” Many catechists have found their own faith enriched by echoing their faith and serving as mentors and guides to children and youth on their faith journey. Strengthen your relationship with God and knowledge of the Catholic Church, volunteer to serve as a catechist!
