Bobbin at least six months before your intended wedding date to begin the marriage preparation program.
The Sunday Collection
A collection is taken up during Sunday Mass as a sign of offering ourselves in sacrifice with Jesus. The Newman Center uses the Sunday collection to serve those in need locally by donating to Catholic Charities here in the Diocese of Allentown, and to serve those in need globally by donating to Catholic Relief Services.
I just sent my deposit for the Freshmen Class of 2019. It is very important to me that I remain close to & enhance my Catholic Faith while at college. I look forward to getting to know those associated with the Newman Center at Lafayette in August 2015. Thank you

Does your website use a contact page? I’m having trouble
locating it but, I’d like to shoot you an email. I’ve got a bit of ideas for your blog you might be enthusiastic about hearing.
In any event, great website and that i look forward to seeing it expand over time.
