LCCS Louisiana Catholic College Students

www.lccsonline.org

LCCS is, on the state level, a lot of what University Catholic is about. A sharing of resources and ideas between colleges and universities for more effective ministry, to save souls and form college students in their faith.
They have conferences and gatherings at colleges around the state which provide opportunities to visit and experience first hand the Catholic life each institution provides.
An event is being hosted at Christ the King right now, and when I was over there I witnessed a large group of students from all over the state praying a rosary together in front of the blessed sacrament. A practice which by itself is able to catylize the conversion and growth of many souls.

On another note I was also involved with a retreat yesterday that had no members of LCCS, and few members in other groups organized from the top down. Just Catholic college students and Catholics beyond college leading a retreat. Both are good, but which way is better, or is there even an ideal.

NO I haven't forgotten about my "upcoming posts" post.

Knights of Columbus

I have recently joined the ranks of the Knights of Columbus and am beginning to learn about the Knights of Columbus college councils. I can think of no better men's group for College Catholics than The Knights. No other organization offers college men the support, fraternity, or practicality as the Knights. The Knights of Columbus give name recognition, service opportunities, and a post-college transition. Once one graduates from college and moves on to bigger things one can find a Knights of Columbus council almost anywhere and begin serving ones post-college Parish. This opportunity is not available with other men's groups.
