Cuadro de Honor de la Pastoral UniversitariaRecomendado por CompassQué significan las insignias

University of Colorado Boulder is not a Catholic college. This rating measures Catholic life on campus: campus ministry, priests, Mass and confession, student groups, and nearby parishes.

St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Center (St. Tom's), the Catholic university ministry and parish serving CU Boulder, has a Catholic Center with an adoration chapel, library, and Drogo's Coffee Bar at 1520 Euclid Avenue, a block from campus, and a church at 898 14th Street. Its pastor, Fr. Chris Considine, is director of university ministry, and five FOCUS missionaries serve there. It lists Mass every weekday, five weekend Masses, confession six days a week, weekday adoration, OCIA, and retreats. CU recognizes Buffalo Catholic and the Thomistic Institute at CU as student organizations.
