When you or our high school graduates attend secular colleges, one’s faith can often be tested. You’ll need supportive communities like campus ministries, Newman centers, and the faith community.

Sometimes campus ministries struggle to connect with Catholic freshmen. Many freshmen miss the very support they need because privacy laws restrict ministries from knowing a student’s religious background – an obstacle to reaching out.

The US Council of Serra International developed a simple program to help make the connection. The participating diocese seeks the names of its high school graduates and their respective colleges. Then, either directly or through Serra, it notifies the campus ministries of the incoming Catholic students, allowing them to encourage and welcome participation in Catholic life on campus. It’s simple, but effective!

In order to complete this connection for you or your high school graduate, we need some basic information, such as college and location. Please complete the online registration form found here.

Together, we can help you, our college students, to keep connected to the Catholic community that has helped to form and prepare you for the most important part of your lives!
