Happy Thanksgiving to all! As Thanksgiving may be different for many of us this year, let us find comfort in God and give thanks for the Graces he has bestowed upon us. As for Newman, we are grateful for all of you!

There is no 12:10pm Prayer Service on Zoom Thursday and Friday in observance of Thanksgiving.

Just a friendly reminder as we approach year end, a gift of securities, including stocks or mutual funds, is a great way to support the Newman Center at UCSD. Contributions are tax deductible and there are no transaction fees or other costs. For more information please visit www.sdcatholic.org and click on Giving – Stock Donations at the top of the website. Or, you may contact the Office for Stewardship, Manny Aguilar, at 858-490-8294 or call Daniel Pritchard at Merrill Lynch, the Diocese’s broker, at 760-930-3122. They will make sure that the full value of your donation goes to the Neman Center.

A friendly reminder, IRA owners that are 72 or older may make charitable contributions of up to $100,000 per year directly to the Newman Center without paying income tax on the transaction. If you file a joint return, your spouse may also make a charitable contribution of up to $100,000, meaning couples can exclude up to $200,000 of their retirement savings from income tax if they donate it to a charity. Qualified charitable contributions must be made by December 31st each year in order to exclude that amount from income.

If interested, please consult with your personal tax advisor on the donation and the tax implications. You may make donations directly to the Newman Center or you may make it through the Diocese of San Diego at no additional cost. Please contact Manny Aguilar. Director, Office for Stewardship at maguilar@sdcatholic.org or at (619) 672-5872.

During this time of uncertainty, Catholic Charities has created the Emergency Food Distribution Network to assist individuals and families who are in need of food assistance and to provide it in a safe and CoVid-19 compliant manner. Learn more.
