- Support Newman Ministry In Illinois! Now in its 107th year, The Newman Apostolate Fund is the oldest of the Illinois State Council Charities. It was established in 1918 to help support Catholic Evangelization on college campuses. Today Newman Ministry programs work to foster a faith that will grow as the students mature and accept more responsibilities in family, parish life, and society. The fund supports Newman Ministry on public college campuses in Illinois. At a time when a young person’s faith is tested the most, Newman Centers provide a Catholic home to students who are away from their families for the first time. Click Here To Donate
