Nature of Work:

The mission of Saint Paul's Outreach is to engage college students and young adults in a life of Christian discipleship by presenting the life-changing power of the Gospel and training them to live as followers of Christ within the Catholic Church.

Saint Paul's Outreach's mission and core values seek to fulfill Pope John Paul II's call to the "New Evangelization". This is accomplished by initiating and building personal relationships with college students and young adults, especially through fostering social environments where Christian life is actively supported and expressed. Rooted in and faithful to the life and teaching of the Catholic Church, members strive for holiness through being formed in and living out the truths of Christianity in all areas of their lives.
