About Us

The Graduate[d] Catholics group is geared toward young adults transitioning from college life. Our mission is to develop faith and promote a sense of community through a variety of activities.

We are a community...
We endeavor to build friendships and strengthen community through a variety of social gatherings (sports events, coffee shops, movies, parties, etc.)

...of faith...
We seek to challenge each other and ourselves to ask questions and grow in our faith. Members of the group alternate leading discussions about life and faith that are based on various readings designed to stimulate thought.

...and service.
We desire to strengthen our community through participating in opportunities to serve the community at large.
