Join us!

  Share your love of SJCNC.  Join us this summer for the inaugural SJCNC Summer Homecoming. You’ll have the chance to create wonderful memories with friends and family.  This exciting weekend program brings alumni and staff together for fun, fellowship and prayer.  

Summer homecoming will be a weekend getaway for former Newmanites.  If you lived at Newman, attended mass at St. John’s, took a class, went on a retreat or were involved in any way, you are invited to come together and reconnect in a dynamic atmosphere on the SJCNC campus.  What better way for SJCNC alumni than sharing stories, reliving memories and creating new ones than to join us for a weekend.  

This summer you can enjoy an affordable stay at Newman with great food in our dining room and memorable activities, beginning with a dinner and reception on Friday evening.

There will be reunions with all the ministries and groups on Saturday so you are able to reconnect with friends. If you haven’t been back to the Newman Center lately, let us give you a  tour!  There will also be plenty of opportunities for Adoration, Confession and Mass.  

This enjoyable weekend will conclude with a Sunday memorial mass and reception honoring our late Chaplain Emeritus Monsignor Duncan.  

Are you interested in reliving your experience at Newman? We can accommodate you in your old rooms! Do you have a family now? Have your entire clan experience Newman in one of our suites in the North Building.  

Kids are welcome. 

We hope to see you this summer.  

If you decide you would prefer to stay in a hotel while on campus, the i-Hotel has agreed to provide a reduced rate for SJCNC guests. You can register for the i-Hotel at http://bit.ly/KiZX9j
