serve on our student leadership team

The Titan Catholic student leadership team supports the ministry of Titan Catholics as we invite the UWO community to discipleship in Jesus Christ in his Church.


Each year, active Titan Catholic student members elect this team, which includes a president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, and a chair for communications. Other positions such as spirituality, women's and men's ministries, and more are then invited to join the team.
