SUPPORT THE NEXT  GENERATION OF CATHOLIC LEADERS 

Forming Minds. Strengthening Faith.

Founded in 1887 by the U.S. bishops, The Catholic University of America is the national university of the Catholic Church in the United States, educating seminarians, religious, bishops, and laity to advance the dialogue between faith and reason. As a comprehensive institution of higher education, Catholic University seeks to impart the truth through excellence in teaching and research, in service to the Church, the nation, and the world.

With five Catholic University alumni up for canonization, the University embraces the mandate of Pope Leo XIII at its founding to “give to the Church and the nation her best citizens”.

 

Shape the next generation of Catholic leaders by Supporting the National Collection for The Catholic University of America

  1. Donate online by giving to The National Collection for Catholic Education for The Catholic University of America.

    The USCCB designates the first or second Sunday in September for the National Collection for The Catholic University of America. (Please check the collection schedule for your diocese; the date of the collection in your parish may differ from what the USCCB recommends.)

  3. Become a Cardinal Ambassador and promote the National Collection in your own community.
