Our Mission

To bring the far close and the close closer to Christ.

 Our Vision

Our team is made up of priests, religious, and laity who are committed disciples of Jesus Christ, outstanding for their humility, authenticity, and joy

Our Newman Center is a home, a school, and a path where students encounter Christ as the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

1. Holy Spirit Newman Center serves the students of Grand Canyon University by providing a home for the heart.

• We intentionally cultivate hospitality, authenticity, encouragement, and a sense of shared responsibility.

2. As a school of faith we actively promote a hunger for understanding and a disposition of continual growth.

• We teach the truth with unwavering fidelity to the Catholic Church. 
• We install a love for the good by emphasizing virtue and the practical implications of the faith that we profess. 
• We cultivate the capacity for contemplation through the beauty of music and art.
• We consciously highlight the relationship between truths of the faith so that students develop an unified and well-integrated understanding.

3. We lead students on the path of discipleship through personal accompaniment and intentional formation.

• Students find healing and freedom by embracing their true identity in Christ.
• They are trained in the concrete disciplines of a disciple such as making a good Confession, praying the Holy Mass well, what to do during adoration, fasting, almsgiving, lectio divina, personal prayer, praying the rosary, and how to fruitfully engage in spiritual reading.
• Through self-knowledge, prayer, and accompaniment students discover their personal charisms and discern the vocation to which God is calling.

Alumni of the Newman Center are well-formed humanly, spiritually, intellectually, and apostolically to be lifelong, missionary disciples in the vocation to which God has called them.
