Holy Spirit Newman Hall is deeply grateful to everyone who supports our mission to share God’s love with our community—especially with the students of the University of California, Berkeley.
Your generosity helps all of us continue growing together in faith and ensures we can meet the spiritual needs of our entire parish family.

REMEMBER US IN YOUR WILL

After taking care of your family needs and other obligations, please do not forget to support Newman.

We hope you consider us one of your favorite charities whose mission, to share God’s love, is one you want to support beyond the years. We have been here since 1907 and plan to be here on into the future.

Future Newman Hall community members will appreciate your foresight and support to keep Newman’s ministries relevant and vibrant, especially for the future students at UC Berkeley.

Please let us know if we are in your will, so we can acknowledge you and keep a record so those who work here in the future know who you are and what you’ve done for and at Newman.
