Meet our Newman Center Consultants
Over the past 30+ years, we’ve served in full-time leadership and development roles at Newman Centers at the University of Nebraska- Lincoln and Omaha, helping them become the thriving Catholic communities they are today.
We believe Catholic campus ministries like yours are critical in the spiritual journey of college students worldwide.
Sacred Heart Consulting Company was founded on October 16, 2015 (the Feast of St. Margaret Mary Alacoque), growing from our desire to help Newman Center chaplains implement the best practices we’ve learned firsthand. We also provide support for development directors who may lack training and/or support in their roles.

They really understand the ups and downs, the frustrations, and limitations we have– they’ve found solutions and ways to get through them.

Working Genius Certified
The 6 types of Working Genius is a new model that helps people discover their natural gifts and thrive in their work and life. When people better understand the types of work that bring them more energy and fulfillment (and avoid work that leads to frustration and failure) they can be more self-aware, productive, and successful.
“Do not be afraid. Open up your hearts to Christ.”
- St. John Paul II at World Youth Day in Denver (1993)
Newman Center Chaplains across the country are responding to Saint John Paul II’s call to fearlessly live the New Evangelization on their college campuses. At Sacred Heart Consulting, we are passionate about partnering with chaplains who desire to answer this great call and grow their Catholic campus ministry through fund development, organizational health, and effective marketing strategies. We exist to help you assess, develop, and strengthen your fund development program and prepare your institution for years of growth and blessings.
