Catholic Charities 2022 Appeal Update
Thank you! Thank you! With just about a month remaining in the 2022 Catholic Charities Campaign, our Newman community has met – and exceeded our goal! 217 generous families and individuals have contributed nearly $146,000. These contributions will go a long way in assisting so many of our western New York neighbors and communities
While we at Newman have achieved our 2022 goal, the overall campaign is at 92% and still needs nearly $750,000 to fully fund Catholic Charities programs. So, if you haven’t yet given, please know that no gift to Appeal 2022 is too small. In fact, each dollar raised during the annual Appeal leverages an additional $3 to $4 of government support and contracts. More funding means more services, like affordable and accessible mental health counseling and basic needs assistance, for those who need it most.
Pledge cards can be returned directly to Catholic Charities or you can drop them in the basket at the Newman Center. If you’ve misplaced or haven’t gotten a card or if on-line is easier for you, you can contribute at ccwny.org/donation. There’s a dropdown menu to select the Newman Center to credit your contribution. Our parish code is 0768. You can also call the parish office to get another card or for further information.
Thank you again for helping Newman to reach our goal – but, more importantly, thanks for all you do for western New Yorkers in need!

Whether prospective or incoming, we are thrilled to have you!
We are honored to be among the first to welcome you to University at Buffalo! We hope that this page about opportunities to participate in your faith life during college will either inspire you to come to UB, or excite you about the years that await you in Buffalo. You will be among the first generation of UB students who will have a permanent sacred place for celebration of the Word, Sacraments, prayer, community building and so much more. College is full of new experiences — some exciting, some difficult — and both faith in God and a supportive faith community can help ease the transition. We here at the Newman Center feel privileged for the opportunity to walk alongside you during your time at UB and share with you in prayer, fellowship and other activities. The Newman Center, Catholic Campus Ministry at UB, often acts as a “home away from home” for students. We offer a warm, welcoming environment for prayer and faith, as well as a dynamic community that relishes in sharing time and energy with one another. We recently opened a new “state of the art” campus ministry center for you and those students who come after you. During your years at UB we strive to:
- Help clarify values in a time of exploration
- Build a sense of Catholic identity and understanding through education, reflection and discussion
- Form leaders in the world and for the Church through service and empowerment
And do all of this in the context of faith, through a vibrant spiritual center. You will find many opportunities for group and individual faith-sharing, retreats, investigation into Catholicism, service and prayer. Please feel free to contact a staff member for more information. At Newman, “it’s all about the students.” We truly look forward to having you join us. Peace and all good things, 
Msgr. J. Patrick Keleher – “Fr. Pat” Director The Newman Center at UB
STUDENTS: Please visit our Campus Ministry page for more student information.
