Coalition of Catholics Against Antisemitism to launch first campus chapter at Franciscan University

The Coalition of Catholics Against Antisemitism will launch its first college chapter at Franciscan University of Steubenville in Ohio this fall. Founded in 2023 at a conference on Catholic-Jewish relations hosted by the university, the Ohio chapter aims to combat antisemitism through education and dialogue. Colin Reitmeyer, president of the new chapter, stated the group plans to “spread awareness to unaware students about the rise of antisemitism and how they can combat it.” Organizers hope this chapter will serve as a model for similar initiatives at other colleges.
