Planned Giving

Our parishioners' weekly and monthly financial generosity is deeply appreciated and is what has kept Newman the vibrant and active faith community it has been for over a hundred years.  Your giving has now provided generations of Cal students a spiritual home, a place of rest and recreation and contributed to their faith formation as the future of the Church. 

Click below to explore the three major ways you can make a commitment to the long-term financial stability of Newman, and feel free to contact Rob Hopcke or Arthur Guimaraes on our Parish Advancement Team at 510-848-7812 or via email at giving@calnewman.org for any questions or for more information.

The Newman Legacy Society

All parishioners who include Holy Spirit Parish - Newman Hall in their planned giving automatically become members of "The Newman Legacy Society" and will receive a small lapel pin in thanks:  our way of honoring you for your generosity to the future of the Church and a way you can witness to your legacy.

As a Catholics, our devotion to the community of the saints and the souls of the faithful departed is a central aspect of our faith, and so any and all gifts you make can be donated in the memory of a loved one, or in honor of a particular academic class, and these all can be acknowledged publicly, if you so desire, or kept anonymous--your wishes will be respected. 

Disclaimer:  Everyone's financial, tax, and legal situation is different, so the above information is provided solely for your general consideration.   All decisions concerning planned giving to Newman should be undertaken after a review and consultation with a financial, tax or legal professional familiar with your particular needs.

Holy Spirit Parish - Newman Hall is 501(c)3 public charity.  Tax ID: 94-1167411
