Graduated Student Group
Sponsored by Catholic Campus Ministry at North Carolina State University
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.

If you have any topics that you would be interested in discussing, please send them to Mary Bridget this week and she'll send out a list of suggested topics next week. If you are willing to lead one of these topical discussions, just let her know what day and topic you would like and then send a short reading and any guiding questions a week before you lead the discussion.
- SOCIAL/SERVICE EVENTS
During our potluck, several people suggested possible social and service activities: hiking, movie nights, planting a food garden, sports games, river/greenway cleanup, trivia night at a bar, and helping at Catholic Parish Outreach. Let Mary Bridget know if you would be willing to organize one of these event or if you have any other ideas for social or service activities.
