Your generosity sustains our vibrant community, preserves our parish home, and supports our mission to share God’s love for generations to come.
Ways to Give
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.

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
