“Through everything that the JPII Newman Center has been able to provide me, I have discerned the Lord calling me to Himself in a particular way, and I will be entering with the Carmelite Sisters of the Divine Heart of Jesus in August of this year.”
Erin Jones, UNO Grad
“My time here has helped me to grow into the person God has called me to be.”

“The journey through RCIA was eye opening and strengthened my spirit. I know that I am now on a path that will bring me closer to God. This would have never happened if it wasn’t for the amazing people I met at JPII Newman."
