Welcome to the “Catholic Corner” of the InterVarsity New England website! Here are several ways this post can helpful to you:

WHERE IN NEW ENGLAND?

Do you have vision for planting a chapter at a Catholic-affiliated campus in New England? Here’s a MAP of all of them! We currently have groups at BC, Fairfield, Stonehill and Assumption, and are currently developing potential planting opportunities at Merrimack, Emmanuel and St. Michael’s.

HIRING FOR CATHOLIC SCHOOLS

And staff directors: don’t forget to consult with me if you’re exploring a new plant or hiring a staff for a Catholic school. You can also find the document on hiring priorities for staff at Catholic schools HERE. And everyone’s invited to check out the “IVCF Staff working at Catholic Schools” Facebook group

CATHOLIC STUDENTS

Do you have Catholic students in your chapter that you want to see grow in their faith and their call to mission on campus? Direct them to the InterVarsity New England Catholic Network Facebook Group.

CATHOLIC OUTREACH

Do you want to reach out more effectively to Catholic students on your campus? Talk to me; I can help you do good analysis of your current effectiveness and develop new strategies. Start with this tool –Ten Ways to Better Spiritual Engagement with our Catholic Friends. Also, my PAPER on awakening and conversion may help as well. And Alpha is a great tool for reaching out to Catholic students. Check out both Catholic Alpha and Campus Alpha.

CATHOLIC-EVANGELICAL GAP

Do you want to grow in your own understanding of Catholicism in the context of InterVarsity’s mission? My “Bridging the Catholic-Evangelical Gap” is a good place to start. Here is a resource list of articles, books and videos to help you go a little deeper.

Thanks for taking the time to engage with this corner of the InterVarsity New England mission!
