DECEMBER 8-21, 2018 | DENVER CATHOLIC
T
he Sunday evening Mass at St.
Peter Catholic Church in Gree-
ley looks a little di¨ erent than
most parishes in the archdiocese — it's
fi lled with college students.
"They are very active," said Father
Jim Crisman, pastor of St. Peter's. "It
certainly adds a level of enthusiasm and
life to the parish."
Located just a mile down the road
from the University of N orthern
Colorado, St. Peter's welcomes and
reaches out to students through its
largest ministry — Bear Catholic.
Bear Catholic serves students at
UNC in a variety of ways with two part-
time campus ministers and FOCUS
missionaries who act as the "evange-
listic arm" of the ministry, explained
Michael Lynch, Campus Development
Director at St. Peter's.
Lynch, who attended UNC and later
served as a FOCUS missionary there,
has seen fi rst-hand the fruits of the
campus ministry.
