Investing in Faith on Campus

The vision of the Catholic Chaplaincy at York can only be met with partners like you who see the many needs.

Among the alumni who once walked the same paths as our students are monthly donors John and Gaelle. They met at this chaplaincy and their love was kindled by shared prayers, discussions, and the warmth of community. Now, years later, with hearts filled with gratitude, they yearned to give back to the place where their journey began.

“We cannot thank God enough for the blessing that CCY was to us during our time at York. It was where we met, made friendships that we still cherish a decade later, discovered the gift of fatherhood in priests and above all, where we encountered Christ in a deeper way. We know that all the blessings we received were through the generosity of Christian charity.

As we experienced it ourselves, a student's life is often on a budget. What if what separates a student from rediscovering their faith is not being able to afford a retreat? We hope that through our monthly donations, we can give back and participate in God's blessings to His Church.

We see our contributions as supporting and nurturing the spiritual growth of future generations, ensuring that others may find the same community, guidance, and belonging that we did.” - Donors John & Gaelle
