Legacy Wall

This Fall, we are introducing a special opportunity to honor those that have made a significant contribution to the Newman ministry! This interactive display is in the Gilded Room (connecting the Church Hall and the Newman Center). It's a joy to share the history of this important ministry (first Newman Center in the country!) and those that have been an incredible witness to the virtue of Stewardship.

If you or someone you know is interested in learning more, please contact Raul at raul@saintsaj.org

  • "I truly believe that the Newman Center is a place of empowerment to go on mission. It challenges me to go forth and be bold in proclaiming the Good News to all who need to hear it. I now lead a Bible Study, and through my simple efforts I can slowly see the seeds of evangelization being sown. It’s exciting that God’s work in me doesn’t just stop there—with his grace, and my willingness, it can flow out to others as well."

    Stokely Palmer, Jr., ‘28

  • "The Newman Center has allowed me to live my faith with those around me. I’ve never been more comfortable to be a disciple of God."

    Brandon Cornner, ‘26

  • “Going to the Spring Retreat allowed me to reconnect with God more than ever before. I learned a lot and was surrounded by incredible people who made it even better!”

    Thea Atwa, ‘26

  • "I would not be the woman or missionary I am today without the Drexel Newman community. In college, my faith flourished, my relationship with God deepened, and I experienced healing through authentic friendship. This community fostered a love of mission, evangelization, and the love of the poor that will forever impact me."
