Community
Life

 We
are committed to gospel values of hospitality and reverence
of others. At J23 there are many chances for people
of all ages to connect with each otherOne of things
often mentioned is how much the students enjoy the "sense
of family" at J23, and older parishioners are energized
by the student population. Everyone is encouraged to
share their time and charisms through the many ministry
opportunities at John XXIII, activities on campus, and
Fort Collins. John XXIII Ministry Opportunities:
