Kevin Barr

Kevin Barr cites the Franciscan religious studies courses at Our Lady of Angels and Neumann College as the impetus for him to pursue a graduate degree in religious studies from St. Charles Borromeo Seminary. After a weeklong rite of passage with Franciscan priest Richard Rohr and 110 other men from around the world, Barr left the business world and, for 20 years, worked for Catholic Social Services in Philadelphia. He has been an advocate for the poor and vulnerable in Chester County, a voice for homeless men in Philadelphia, and passionate for the gift of ‘God’s good children’ that he loved and supported at the the communities of Don Guanella and Divine Providence. He has served as an adjunct instructor in religious studies at Neumann University and has made presentations at the Franciscan Spiritual Center and other local universities and retreat centers.
