We’re excited to see God gathering such an incredible group of people to form authentic Christian Community. What brings us together is Christ—He is the center and reason for the life of our community. Our goal is to be His disciples and to arrange all of life in reference to Him. If you would like to get together to learn more about the Catholic faith and our Newman Community, we would be happy to set up a time to talk over a brew of your choice.

Vince is our Director here at the Newman Catholic Center. His most important titles are husband (to wife, Keri) and father (to children Veronica, Toby, Joshua and Stella). A life of Catholic faith, ministry and education have blessed him with deep passion for family, solidarity, service, music & media.
As a graduate of Saint Mary's College in Religious Studies and the Franciscan School of Theology with a Masters of Theological Studies in Media & Spirituality, both the Lasallian Core Principles and the charisms of St. Francis are dear to his heart. In 2019-20 he is eager to listen, learn and connect with all those who make the Newman Catholic Center what it is. Favorite quote: "Do not conform to this age, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind." Romans 12:2 Roberta is our Program Director. She has been married for 26 years to her husband Chris. They have raised four amazing children: Zack, Sarah, Cia and Sean. Roberta and her husband have recently moved to Carmichael from Chico, California where she worked as the bookkeeper at St John the Baptist for 15 years.
She attended Cal State University San Bernardino. She feels blessed to have been able to be a stay at home mom until her youngest went to kindergarten at Notre Dame in Chico. Her maternal heart and welcoming smile will make you feel right at home here at the Newman Center!
