“God has created me to do Him some definite service. He has committed some work to me which He has not committed to another. I have my mission. I may never know it in this life, but I shall be told it in the next. I am a link in a chain, a bond of connection between persons. He has not created me for naught. I shall do good; I shall do His work.”

Weekly Update-May 13, 2012
We have just established a fund through which students that are graduating in 2012 can make a donation to the Catholic Students at Cal Program Fund and be matched by the university 2 to 1. (A gift from a senior to the fund of $25 will result in $75 receipt by the fund). Recent Alumni (up to 5 years graduated) can donate to the fund and be matched by the university, 1 to 1. Donations from seniors and alums must be received by June 30th, 2012 to be matched by the university. The funds we raise may be broadly applied to programming for Catholic students at UC Berkeley.
All checks should be made out to “Catholic Students at Cal Program Fund.” Please link to the donation card for more information about making a donation or click here to make an online donation.
Recognition and Awards-Newman parishioners, please let me know if you are receiving an award, distinction, or recognition for an achievement this spring. If you are a student it may be that you landed an internship that you are proud of. Perhaps you received a scholarship, won a competition, or were acknowledged by your department. If you are working, it might be that you got a promotion or were recognized for your work. Please let me know so you can be recognized at Newman, through our website and our weekly bulletin. Thanks! Fr. Bill Edens
