College Formation
While there are a number of college campuses with active full-time campus ministries, complete with chaplains, facilities, and staff, most of the 28 college campuses in the Diocese of Wichita are served by volunteers and the local parish community. We help serve those college parish communities with financial resources and the strategies to integrate college students into an active local faith life.
