Help Us Build MORE Catholic Life at UNLV

uy — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 21:27:52 +0000

Too many of us Catholic students are no longer involved in a parish community. The Newman Center is too small and the number of fellow students we can reach is limited. But there is a solution. The Newman Center has launched a capital campaign to generate funds for a Chapel on the UNLV campus.

Students like you are the difference in our efforts to build a new Chapel.

Become a CHARTER MEMBER of this program to benefit the capital campaign.

Additional Benefits:

-Free meals for pledge members

at the Newman Center’s Community Benefit Dinners throughout the semester.

-Free Catholic Devotion Pamphlets for all pledge members!

-We still have a long way to go, but with your help by committing to a $10 a month pledge, our Chapel will come sooner.

If you have any questions or concerns about our $10 a month pledge to our Capital Campaign, please contact our Development Assistant, Robert Oliver at oliver@unlvnewman.com.

If you would like to give a gift of $10 a month, print, fill out, and mail the form to
