Shared Memories from Our Alumni!

I always felt comforted when attending Mass during exam week and other stressful times during my time at NIU.

My wife and I were married at Christ The Teacher fifty years ago August 5.  Following the wedding, we road from the church to the Kishwaukee Country Club for the reception in a red carpeted manure spreader my buddies surprised us with.

My husband and I were married in the Newman Center chapel in 1969.  He graduated form NIU in 1969.  I attended from 1965-1967.  We came from St. Francis High School and felt like the Center was a home away from home.  We often attended daily Mass together.

I liked going to daily Mass at, I believe, Noon in the small worship area behind the main worship area at that time.  Also, my nephew lost his Mother, my sister, while at NIU.  I don't know what would have happened to him if not for the Newman Center.  For that I am deeply grateful.
