Catholic Life
Catholic Campus Ministry (CCM) at Davidson College is embodiment of the Catholic Church on the Davidson College campus.
Imbued by the Tradition of Church Teaching, Catholic Campus Ministry nurtures a Catholic community rooted in the Gospel and the sacraments. Dedicated to the mission of Jesus Christ, Catholic Campus Ministry seeks to live out the Gospel for the good of all people.
Our Community
The Catholic Campus Ministry (CCM) community is made up of Davidson students who seek to grow in their faith in two principle ways: through growing in their love for God, and through building a loving community with each other. In this, they seek to serve the whole Davidson College community.
Receiving the sacraments of the Eucharist and Reconciliation offered each week on campus is the heart out of which grows our Catholic life. It encompasses Catholic faculty, staff, and local Catholic families. The great joys and friendships of college years are profoundly enriched by this spiritual foundation.
