Matching gifts help to maximize the generosity of our members as well as give St. John Newman access to new resources. Most corporations’ matching gifts programs simply require tax information from the beneficiary of the gift (St. John Newman). We are happy to supply all of the necessary information to your company’s Human Resources department to begin a matching gift program. Questions regarding a matching gift donation can be directed to Donna Borman at dborman@newmanparish.com . Expired Savings Bonds Do you have one of several series of savings bonds reaching final maturity? Contributing proceeds from these bonds to St. John Newman can produce a charitable deduction that will offset tax on unreported interest and reduces other taxable income. You can also contribute the proceeds from the sale of U.S. Savings Bonds toward a charitable gift annuity for St. John Newman. It can produce a generous tax deduction to help offset the taxes from the bond redemption.

SPIRITUAL LIFE MINISTRIES Christian Family Movement Arts & Environment Altar Serving MINISTRIES HOME Contemplative Prayer Lectors Eucharistic Ministers Eucharistic Adoration Ministers of Care Ministry of Prayer Ushers Sacristans Music Ministry Greeters Right to Life As you reflect upon the gifts with which God has blessed you, please prayerfully if the Holy Spirit is nudging you to serve the parish at Mass. A host of opportunities are waiting for you here at St. John Newman Parish. For the liturgy to be celebrated well, and so that the People of God may be led to full, conscious, and active participation, many liturgical ministers are needed. Together with the priest, the ministers such as lectors, choir, extraordinary ministers of holy Communion, servers, and ushers, assist the assembly of the faithful in praying as the one Body of Christ in the liturgy, which means “the work of the people.” All liturgical ministers exist for the service of the Body of Christ, the People of God, the assembly gathered in God’s name. Although serving in any of these ministries should be a source of joy and satisfaction for individual people, these ministries exist for the benefit and service of the Church and not for individual or personal piety, spiritual growth, or status. As such, these ministries are regulated by Church and Liturgical law. Therefore, the pastor has the final approval of all liturgical ministers before they can begin service at the Mass.
