Mission
Catholics on Campus is the Catholic community at Monash University. We strive to support one another as we witness before the University community to the love, truth and care of Jesus Christ through worship, education and social concern. We have a wide range of activities to attract those interested in the Catholic ethos at Monash. We try to be a spiritual home away from home, your extended family in Christ, for our many international members. We welcome new students and staff. Get involved and let us grow together in faith, hand in hand.
