Faculty and Staff here at the University of Illinois at Chicago are important resources in educating Today's Students to become Tomorrow's Leaders.
You are important teachers and leaders of our local community. The John Paul II Newman Center works to provide Faculty and Staff with faith based resources both inside the classroom through Catholic Studies and outside the classroom through workshops and programs.
We have a special outreach program for you called "Second Look". This program is designed in a way to allow you to ask the questions you need for you to understand your Catholic Faith. Whether you practice your faith daily or you have been away from the faith for a while, you can seek answers to your questions. "Second Look" meets as a Faculty and Staff group.
We also wish to inform you that the Newman Center, in conjunction with the Archdiocese of Chicago, will have a Welcome Home Program during Lent. We not only want you to be aware of it, we hope you will support us, by spreading the word among your colleagues, students, friends, et al.
The Welcome Home Program will begin on Thursday, February 18 (the day after Ash Wednesday), at noon, and continue for six weeks. We hope that you will join us for one or more of these sessions to help welcome those who are seeking a deeper connection with God and our Church and to lend your own experience of faith with those who may be wrestling with theirs. We hope that this program will provide spiritual nourishment for you as well.
