The Student Coordinators are like Presidents... but cooler. They serve as general contact people for Catholic Community, and they meet regularly with Fr. Charlie to set the agenda for council planning meetings. The student coordinators also handle organizational tasks, such as scheduling students for introductions at Sunday Mass throughout the semester. |

| Music | |||
 |
|||
The Sunday Mass Choir provides the Catholic Community with an ecclectic mix of music by performing traditional church hymns backed by instruments including piano, guitar, orchestral strings, and hand percussion. The choir is open to all students who have any musical inclination whatsoever. There is no commitment or pressure to participate every week. Any Sunday you have time, please feel free to join the Sunday Mass Choir in the Student Center Ballroom at 3:45 for their pre-Mass rehearsal. |

The Social Committee plans, advertises, and puts on social events for Catholic Community throughout the year. The social events are up to you! Let the Social Committee chairs know what you'd like to see. Past events have included going out for ice cream or coffee, going bowling, and sharing dinner, but the possibilities are endless! The Social Committee has also organized programs such as Catholic Buddies, which matches new Catholic students with returning Catholic students, and 'Why do Catholics do that?', which brings outside speakers to talk about our Catholic faith. |

| Reading Frogs | |||
 |
|||
Every other Friday, students from the Catholic Community go to St. Andrew's, a Catholic school just down the street from the campus. In the 45 minutes they are there, TCU students read to kids ranging from pre-k to 5th grade. This is wonderful opportunity for TCU students to get out in the community and make a difference with children of the area. |

| Interfaith | |||
|
|||
The Interfaith Council is a group of TCU students dedicated to bringing the various faith traditions from around TCU and the world together. The activities of the council promote interaction and understanding among our different faiths. The Catholic Community has a member present at the meetings of the Interfaith Council. |
