John Kelley

Director of Advancement

As Director of Advancement, John works with donors, friends, and alumni to help them make a lasting impact for generations of Catholic Illini yet to come through gifts that align with their philanthropic goals. In supporting the mission of St. John's Catholic Newman Center, alumni and friends are helping sustain and expand our mission on campus now, and preparing the SJCNC ministry and facilities for our next century of serving Catholic Illini students at the University of Illinois.

 

Ask me about:

  1. How your support will be pivotal in our next 100 years serving Catholic Illini on campus
  2. The restoration and renovation of the Chapel - and what we're planning next
  3. Living in France, Bingo, or dad jokes

When I'm not at SJCNC you can find me: with my family, at Holy Cross parish in Champaign, biking, being a Rotarian, or golfing (badly)

The best part of my job is: matching donors in their desire to make a difference with their gifts to the mission of St. John's Catholic Newman Center
