testimonials

Fr. Stephen Wang - Rector Venerable English College, Rome

“I highly recommend the Humanum Institute. It provides a compelling vision of the human person, grounded in the wisdom of Christian philosophy and theology, together with a very practical and systematic approach to teaching and learning. Their programs will be a great resource for parishes, schools, university chaplaincies and other communities who wish to provide some much needed input about these big questions of what it means to be human in our contemporary culture.”

Dr. Marc Timmermans - Assistant professor Moral Theology and Anthropology at the Jesuit theological Faculty, Brussels

"In their conference, which was held in two sessions, they showed a solid knowledge of the subject combined with a remarkable capacity to make it relatable to a public that wasn’t composed of philosophers and theologians only.

Those who are a bit familiar with the teaching of Saint John Paul II know that explaining the Theology of the Body isn’t that easy. Kerri and Ryan managed to remain faithful to the profound message of the catechesis while using clear and comprehensive words. Their clear and true answers to sometimes difficult questions only underlined their teaching skills. The way they presented everything together in an intellectual harmony and delicate sense of humor was not just pleasant for the public, but was a living confirmation of what they were saying."

Therese Vooght - Evangelist

“When listening to Kerri speak last summer on the Feminine Genius, I was struck by her clarity and ability to engage a diverse group of women with a natural authority. She had a theological and practical approach that was refreshing and authentic, and at times very funny! I left having thoroughly enjoyed the experience and personally challenged and empowered to continue this study!”
