Católica kicks off academic year 2024.25 on a high note

The academic year 2024.25 could not have got off to a more memorable start: Between parties, games and adrenaline, Católica's welcome to freshmen was marked by joy and good spirits in Lisbon, Porto, Braga, Viseu and Sintra.

But that's not all. Altruism and inspiration were also words of honour, as UCP challenged the new students to ‘roll up their sleeves’ and volunteer for the benefit of others and a better world!

New friendships were made, talents were discovered, fears were faced and the first steps were taken towards the greatest adventure in the lives of hundreds of young people: making their dreams come true!
