Newman Mission Statement “cor ad cor loquitur”The Newman Catholic Center includes the students, faculty and staff at the University of Massachusetts and extended com-munity. Empowered by the Spirit and inspired by .John Henry Newman’s motto: “Heart speaks to Heart” we explore, believe and reach out inclu-

sively to make Jesus Christ present to all who share their journey with us. Newman Vision Statement

The Newman Catholic Center at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst provides a safe, comfortable, and caring community in which stu-dents can grow spiritually, form new relationships, and deepen the rich traditions of their Catholic Faith. As Blessed John Henry Cardinal New-man desired, we put the Catholic faith to work in conjunction with students’ secular education. We offer encouragement in worship and study, aid in the development of leadership skills, and facilitate in building a faith community that provide lasting memories. Through the sharing of

meals and prayers that sustain the body, mind, and spirit, we create a “home away from home” environment that helps to break social barriers while supporting each other in the growth and understanding of the faith. We act as models to those around us through our commitment to

God, Church, and Community.

Please consider leaving a gift to Newman in your will. Contact Virginia Webb

St. Francis through the eyes of Pope Francis, and the Holy Father in relation to the spiritual path of St. Francis. What do the two Francises have in common? How might they open our hearts to the movement of the Holy Spirit in our times, our church, and ourselves? How might

Ameri-ca’s managing editor Kerry Weber discusses her efforts to participate fully in city life and in the life of the Church while still maintaining her sanity. Drawing upon her new book "Mercy in the City," she will offer her thoughts on how she tries to balance breadlines and deadlines, and describes how she finds a moment’s rest in the city that never sleeps. Please come and join our Faith Sharing Group and wel-come Kerry Weber.

MONDAY!

Fr. Dailey’s Vocation Meditation Jesus prayed and fasted for forty days and nights. We can take His example, begging the Lord of the Harvest for an increase of Church vocations.

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION @ NEWMAN… All grades meet this weekend. Please consider joining the Newman Team at the Autism Speaks walk on April 6th! Let’s get all of Religious Education participating!

FAMILY CONNECTION

When Jesus resists the temptations presented to him by the dev-il, he draws on his religious upbringing and tradition. Jesus is able to quote from Scripture because he is the Son of God and be-cause he was a human person who lived his Jewish beliefs fully. We who are responsible for raising children are also called upon to immerse them fully in our Catholic Christian tradition so that they too will be able to draw upon this tradition to resist the temp-tations they will face in their lives. Use this Sunday as an opportunity to call your family's attention to the importance of Scripture in our lives. Gather your family around the family Bible and read today's Gospel, Matthew 4:1-11. Recall that Jesus rebuked the devil's temptations by quot-ing Scripture. Take some time as a family to talk about the words that are found in the Bible and the importance of Scripture to our faith. Perhaps the older members of the family can share a favor-ite Scripture passage with everyone. Younger family members can tell their favorite story from the Bible and be shown where that story can be found. In each case, encourage a deeper shar-ing of faith by asking each person to tell why the Scripture pas-sage shared is important to him or her. Conclude your time to-gether by again reading Jesus' reply to the devil found in Matthew 4:4 (“One does not live by bread alone . . .”) and praying the Lord's Prayer.

SUPPORT OUR NEWMAN STUDENTS ON THEIR SPRING BREAK JOURNEY

Thank you for all of the community support for our group. So far we have re-ceived $1810 from the Ash Wednesday collection, $247 from Dining for Dol-lars at Bertucci’s and $600 from Bake Sales. This will go a long way in subsi-dizing our Alternative Spring Break Trip costs of $8000. We are still accepting donations. Please make checks out to the Newman Catholic Center with Alter-native Spring Break in the memo line and either drop it in the donation basket or give it to Fr. Gary or Fr. Jon.

FOLLOW THE STUDENTS ON THE TRIP Again, this year 12 students and Fr. Jon will sacrifice the sunny beaches of Mi-ami for putting the Gospel into action in the hills of Appalachia, Kentucky dur-ing their spring break. From Saturday, March 15th as they board their vans in the parking lot of Newman to Saturday, March 22nd when these tired young men and women come home to us, we will be posting photos and journal en-tries daily. Follow their journey and their experiences on the Newman website – www.newmanumass.org. They will treasure the thought that they are continu-ously connected with us even though they are so far away from their “home away from home”. Next week’s Communitas…the students’ itinerary for the week and some more information about the community service in which they will be involved.
