Why do we exist?

Catholic Hoos exists to reach every student at the University of Virginia with the person of Jesus Christ, the love of the Father, and the truth of the Catholic Church.

Catholic Hoos at the University of Virginia is a community that strives to know, love, and imitate Jesus Christ. We desire to know Him and to make Him known through an active participation in the sacramental life of the Church and intellectual engagement with the Catholic faith. Because He first loved us, we dedicate ourselves to prayer and loving one another. As the Body of Christ, we seek to imitate our lord by pouring ourselves out for our brothers and sisters and building a virtuous community at the University of Virginia.
