Newman Week
Newman Week
Newman Week is our annual philanthropy week. Students and parishioners work tirelessly to raise money and awareness for a worthy cause, build visibility on campus and build community within our own St. Thomas More Newman Center parish, all while having a little fun.
Speaker's Series
Now in its fifth year, the series strives to provide the campus community and the local Catholic community with a compelling and intellectually stimulating discussion of current issues facing our Church. In 2008 we were proud to welcome John Cardinal Foley and we wait with great anticipation for our 2009 s
peaker, Sr. Jamie T. Phelps, O.P.
Musical
We're waiting in great anticipation for our 7th Newman Week Musical. The production is performed and directed by students and will premier in February 2009.
Check often for updates and details about auditions and crew meetings.
Campus Competition
Campus groups from MU, Stephens and Columbia College can join in our Newman Week festivities to help us raise awareness and funds for our charity and, of course, pursue fabulous prizes. Involvement includes a service project, a booth at our parish kids carnival, attending our musical and a little advertising. Congratulations to our 2008 champions, Sigma Phi Lambda. Contact Erin for more information.
Fire & Ice Ball
Our semi-formal is a chance to get all dressed up and celebrate our fundraising accomplishments or just to dance the night away!
Prayer Vigil
A team of students plan a lead a night to pray for the individuals who will receive the proceeds of our Newman Week efforts and all of those affected by similar issues.
Parish Kids Carnival
This is your chance to paint faces, play games, blow up balloons and have a great time with the kids in our parish!
Newman Week 2008 resulted in a grand total of $6165 for our charity, the Truman State Newman Center. These funds will assist the group in rebuilding their center lost to a fire in the summer of 2007.
