Community Housing For 2012 – 13

Wednesday, January 25th, 2012

Yes, it seems too early to think about this, but it’s really not.  Newman Community House applications are available now and should be returned by 31 January.

If you’re looking to live with friends with similar values and a commitment to our Catholic faith, you ought to think about our Newman Community houses.

Our community houses are:

  • places where students choose to live a more deliberate Christian lifestyle.
  • places where students  support each other
  • environments in which students can challenge each other to grow as God’s people.

If you’re interested, visit the “Community House” pages at the top of our slonewman.org home page.  You can also call the Newman Center and talk with Linda or Frs. John or Kevin.

We would also encourage you to contact one of the current community house members to get a better sense of things (practical and spiritual).  If you don’t know who they are or how to contact them, call the Newman Center.

Newman’s annual talent show, Coffee House, is coming up on February 18! It’s never too early to start thinking about what talents you can share, and the more people that participate, the better! A sign-up sheet is now available at the Newman Center!
