Who We Are

Ram Catholic is the campus ministry of Blessed John the 23rd, a Catholic parish whose primary mission is to serve the students and faculty of Colorado State University.  Ram Catholic supports the spiritual development of students during a critical, transitional time in their lives. The Catholic University Parish Center, located one block west of campus, provides a prayerful, social and joyful home away from home for students to discover their faith and meet friends who share similar beliefs and values.  Students are given an opportunity to come together to worship, discover Catholic tradition, receive the sacraments, discern vocations and God’s will for their lives, attend life-altering retreats, mentor the youth of the parish, and form sound theological values for their future.

Ram Catholic compliments the secular education provided at Colorado State University.  Students who pair what they learn in the classroom with Catholic tradition and theology will learn to make thoughtful and faithful choices in their lives.  Young adults who begin to understand social justice and the abundance of Christ’s love will integrate that knowledge in their vocation as citizens, husbands, wives, parents and employees.
