RAISE THE ROOF

This past winter the roof, original to the building, was irreparably damaged. All 27,000 sq. ft. had to be replaced this summer. Raise the Roof is an initiative to cover the cost of the new roof and retire a small debt long carried by USD Newman, ensuring a debt-free foundation to begin the next chapter of this transformational mission for our young people.

WILL YOU JOIN US?

The Newman Center has been an integral part of Coyote Country for 60 years! In gratitude for the important role played in all our lives, would you prayerfully consider joining the efforts to Raise the Roof? Our goal is to share the cost among the six decades of alumni and friends who have walked, prayed, and stayed in this amazing facility we all can call home!

OUR ROOTS
RUN DEEP

In 1964, Bishop Hoch brought to life a vision of campus ministry at the University of South Dakota. For 60 years the St Thomas More Newman Center has transformed students by facilitating friendship, offering the sacraments, encouraging prayer, and providing a place to study. Today, this visionary location sits squarely in the heart of campus activity and continues to bring Christ to the students, the students to the Church, and the Church to the world!

FAITH

At USD, we’re working to nurture a faith-filled environment for the students. We need your help to continue our mission.
