Become a USCCA Affiliate!
Becoming an Affiliate flows from the invitation to be friends in Christ, and to become more catholic, which means universal.
As an Affiliate, you demonstrate your intention and interest to participate in the mission/vision of the USCCA at a deeper level. Each Affiliate will be paired with a USCCA Board member to discern the Affiliate's level of commitment and interests for 2024-25.
Opportunities Open to USCCA Affiliates:
