What a great way to welcome a new school year at Adams State University!

On Tuesday, August 25, Fr. Carlos, our Catholics on Campus team, and several of our students spent the evening welcoming incoming freshmen and sharing what Catholics on Campus is all about: faith, friendship, and belonging. We were grateful to meet so many new students and received several new sign-ups for the year ahead.

Students also went home with rosaries, Miraculous Medals, and giveaways provided by the Knights of Columbus. A very special thank-you to Antojitos Mexicanos for generously providing mangonadas, sweet and tangy chile-spiced treats, and two delicious aguas frescas. They were an absolute hit with the students!

Most of all, we ask our Sacred Heart parish family to keep these young people in your prayers. Please pray that God continues to work in the hearts of the students we met, especially those who may be searching for faith, friendship, community, or simply a place where they know they belong. May they have the courage to take that first step and know there is a place waiting for them here.

Thank you to everyone who continues to pray for and support Catholics on Campus at Adams State University. Your support helps us be present for students at such an important season of their lives.

ORDER OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION OF ADULTS (OCIA)
2026–2027 Catechetical Year
“Faith takes the form of a journey, a path to be followed, which begins with an encounter with the living God.”
— Pope Francis, Lumen Fidei, 46
COME AND JOURNEY WITH US!
The Order of Christian Initiation of Children (OCIC) and Adults (OCIA) is a journey of faith, conversion, prayer, learning, and encounter with Jesus Christ and His Church.

WHO IS OCIA FOR?
1.Adults who have never been baptized and desire to become Catholic.
