[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you in the DC area?  Why don't you contact Campus Ministry and/ or have DC visit the mass most attended by the Campus Ministry student crowd to assess the vibe?

When I was at Georgetown, a long time ago, there was definitely a small but super-dedicated group of devout Catholic students, enough to support several prayer groups, a charismatic Catholic group, etc.  Your DC should be able to find out a lot from the experience of those students.[/quote]

My DC is a practicing Catholic and a current student at GU.  There are still quite a few Catholic student groups in campus. DC goes to Mass every week with two other Catholics in DC’s friend group.  Weekend Mass is well attended and there are often social events after Mass.

Freshman year there is a retreat in the Shenandoah Valley run by the GU Catholic ministries (I forget the official name) that is very popular.  There are also social justice focused spring break trips for Catholic students.

There is a pro life group on campus.

There are definitely ways for Catholic students to connect with each other. The majority of students though are not practicing Catholics. [/quote]
