Directions:

John XXIII Catholic University Parish is located on University Ave. west of Shields St. in Fort Collins. To reach John XXIII from I-25, take the (Ft. Collins) PROSPECT ROAD exit and go west approximately five miles. You will pass several major intersections: Timberline, Lemay, College (all one mile apart) until you come to Shields. At Prospect and Shields, turn right (heading north) and go approximately four blocks to University Ave.

Note that the streets on the east side of Shields and those on the west side do not match up, so follow the streets on the west side of Shields (left hand side as you travel north). They are Bennett Rd., Springfield Drive, Westward Drive and University. When you come to the corner of University and Shields you should see the sign on the corner for John XXIII University Parish.

If you are coming on Shields from the north, travel south until you get to Elizabeth St. (Moby Arena will be on your left). Go one more block south past Elizabeth to University. At the corner of University and Shields turn west, and you will see the large parking lot on the right, and John XXIII Parish just beyond. If you are in need of assistance, call 970.484.3356!

Our Student Commons is located at 1221 W. Elizabeth St., next door to J23, in between Campus West shops and Sonic. If you are following the directions heading north to John XXIII, Elizabeth is the next light after University Ave., take a left on Elizabeth. Our building will be on your left before Sonic - if you are coming on Elizabeth heading east, the Commons will be on your right after Sonic. If you need assistance, call for directions to the Commons 970.484.3356.
