Building Maintenance
The Newman Center at Brockport is unique among campus
ministries in having a fully-functioning church building of our own.
This affords us wonderful opportunities for ministry, worship  and service to the entire campus community, but it also entails expenses which other campus ministries do not incur
 

~Mold Abatement - our expense: $30,000

~Newman House Roof replacement: apprx. $35,000

~Repair and upkeep of the Chapel and offices

~Repair and upkeep of Newman House

~General operating expenses;

utilities, building repair, etc.   
  In-Kind Gifts: Gifts of equipment or goods that would be useful additions to our ministry.  Areas of specific need include:
•   A Computer
•   A printer
•   Copy machine
•   Office equipment and supplies   
•   Catholic Bibles Several years ago we received a donation of several boxes of Bibles.  We have been distributing them at the rate of perhaps a dozen a year. Since Sept 11, however, that rate has gone up drastically.  We have been unable to keep Bibles on the shelves--we are now down to our last crate.  There is a real need here, and we are unable to afford more (the cheapest ones are approximatels $10/copy).  

  Memorial and Tribute Gifts: Gifts that honor living individuals or deceased friends or loved ones.   Any gift may be designated in memory of or in honor of a loved one.

  Bequests: You can designate a specific amount of money, a percentage of your estate, or the remainder of your estate after other bequests are satisfied to the Newman Oratory.  Adding a codicil to an existing Will is a simple process that begins by making your intentions known to your attorney.
