Spiritual Life

JPCatholic has been consistently recognized on the Newman Guide for offering a faithfully Catholic college experience. We’re a unique community of artists and innovators, centered around our faith in Jesus Christ and the beauty of the Catholic faith.

College is a time for professional formation, but it’s also an opportunity for spiritual growth. A rich sacramental and prayer life is at the center of our students’ daily life, with the Eucharist being at the very core. Each day’s class schedule is structured around the Mass, so that any student who wishes may easily attend. Other devotions and ministries contribute to Catholic life on campus, including Eucharistic Adoration, Rosary, households, and retreats.
