Centenary Celebrations

All former Collegians and their partners were invited to join us for one of the four lunches held to celebrate our Centenary. The invitees were separated into the various cohorts based (loosely) on who was the incumbent Rector at the year of their entrance into Newman College. Prior to the lunch there was a Mass, and following the lunch, there was an archival display and a concert. The proceeds from the lunches were directed to Jesuit Mission, Jesuit Refugee Services, Jesuit Social Services, and two institutions established by former Collegians: Peace and Diversity, Australia, and the School of St Jude in Tanzania.
