Building Fund

The size of our current building is limiting the number of students we can reach.

There are an estimated 7,000 Catholic students enrolled at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

We can only fit 100 people into the multi-purpose room we use for Sunday Mass.

Students who participate in campus ministry are 82% more likely to attend Mass after they graduate.*

Students are being left behind.

Our new building will have a 285 seat chapel.  That is nearly three times larger than our current worship space.

The campaign goal is $6 million, and the building and grounds will be a total of 13,508 square feet.  That breaks down to about $425 per square foot.

AS OF February 29, 2012, WE HAVE OVER $600,000 IN CASH!  THAT IS OVER 1,400 SQUARE FEET!

Monthly payments over the course of one year come out to $36 ($36.79 if paying through PayPal).

Is this a commitment you can make?

YEAR LONG SQUARE FOOT PLEDGE

ONE TIME DONATION

Thank you so much for your dedication to the Newman Center.  With your help, one day, we will see the cross standing high on top of our chapel.  Standing in witness to the University.

If you would like to make a pledge towards the capital campaign larger or smaller than a square foot, please contact David Zeamer, Development Director, by calling him at 702-327-1635 or emailing him at zeamer@unlvnewman.com

Final Note:  The Newman Center believes strongly in transparency.  If you would like to look at any of our budgets or income projections, all you have to do is ask.
