Our Vision for CPC to become...

The Centre for Catholic Theological Formation

Everything Catholic Pacific College does is for one goal: forming young Catholics theologically.
Everything -- simple, daily tasks like parking passes and photocopying, or student life events and daily Mass, as well as professorial hires and curriculum development -- is aimed toward providing solid Catholic formation to each student that is served by our college.
Be a financial partner with CPC, the centre for young adult formation in the Catholic Theological tradition. We need your generous gifts in order to continue the work we are doing.
