The forerunner of St. Paul Catholic Center was a Newman Club established in 1928 by Fr. Paul Deery, pastor of St. Charles Borromeo Church. At the time, St. Charles School and Church were located in a building at 3rd and Dunn streets, adjacent to Indiana University, and more than 200 students were affiliated with the club. After St. Charles relocated to its present facility on East Third Street in 1952, the Newman Club continued to use the old school building. Fr. Victor Wright, an Englishman, was assigned as the chaplain to the Newman Ministry in 1958. |
