Who we serve

Catholic Rural Life seeks to serve Catholic parishes throughout rural America.

How we support rural congregations and ministry leaders

Catholic Rural Life seeks to expand its programming and resources to equip rural Catholics — pastors, deacons, and lay leaders and potential leaders — through our network of 35 chapters and five regional partners hosting regional conferences and events. We hope to serve as a greater catalyst for evangelization and transformation in rural areas.

Partners

CRL's partners include:

• Saint Paul Seminary in St. Paul, MN;
• University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, MN;
• St. Kateri Institute in Williamstown, MA;
• the Mexican American Catholic College (MACC) in San Antonio, TX;
• the Diocese of Stockton, CA; and
• Catholic Rural Life's 35 chapters around the country

Faith tradition

CRL's denomination and theological tradition is Catholic. We are denomination-specific, but we work ecumenically.

Geographical focus

Our initiative is nationwide.
