CCO | UR vs Catholic Square

Catholic Christian Outreach (CCO) is a Canadian university student movement dedicated to evangelization. We challenge students to live in the fullness of the Catholic faith with a strong emphasis on becoming leaders in the renewal of the world. This app features the Ultimate Relationship booklet, which presents the Gospel clearly and simply with an opportunity to respond to Christ’s invitation to a personal relationship.

A Catholic digital town square to discover, connect, and belong. Catholic Square is a new kind of platform: built for faithful community, designed for modern connection. In a noisy and divided world, Catholic Square offers something different — a digital town square where Catholics can rediscover the joy of shared life. Rooted in the richness of the Catholic tradition and built with modern simplicity, the app is structured around its core spaces: Home, Groups, Events, and Market. Home Your all-in-one Catholic community feed — open, inspiring, and always real.

Whether you're a young adult seeking authentic Catholic friendship, a parent looking for support, a parish leader trying to reach your community, or someone quietly exploring the Church — Catholic Square was built for you.

Our team is made up of Catholic leaders, digital community builders, and tech professionals. We know how to create vibrant, safe, and meaningful platforms — and we believe the Church deserves one. No noise. No manipulation. Just real Catholic community. Launching in Denver. A local beginning with a big mission.
