Presented by John Paul the Great Catholic University, Divine Spark is a reading series that allows students and community members to engage with artists who are living their artistic vocations—and be inspired to do the same.

“Those who perceive in themselves this kind of divine spark which is the artistic vocation—as poet, writer, sculptor, architect, musician, actor and so on—feel at the same time the obligation not to waste this talent but to develop it, in order to put it at the service of their neighbor and of humanity as a whole.” - John Paul II, Letter to Artists
