Student Life

Students involved at the Catholic Student Center participate in many activities throughout the year.  Many serve at Sunday Mass as lectors, extraordinary Eucharistic ministers, altar servers, by singing in the choir, or simply attending Mass prayerfully.

The Catholic Student Center hosts two retreats each year, one each in the spring and fall semesters. 

Campus minister Matthew Newsome and our chaplain, Father Williams, contribute continuously to the education and spiritual development of our students.

During the regular academic year, students meet every Wednesday evening at the Student Center for a food and fellowship at 6:30 pm. 

Of course, the center is open from 10:00am to 10:00pm every day during the week for you to drop by.  Many students enjoy walking "St. Francis' Path" on the Student Center grounds -- a peaceful walk through the woods including Stations of the Cross.  And you are welcome to come pray before the Blessed Sacrament in our Reserve Chapel.

Over the course of the year students will participate in Eucharistic Adoration, Reconciliation Services, RCIA, Confirmation classes, volunteer work with our community, and many other faith-centered activities.  And sometime we meet just for the fun of it!

Many students have approached the Catholic Student Center as strangers and left years later as a dear part of our family.  Won't you be a part of our community?

"[Christians] have the commandments of the Lord Jesus Christ himself impressed upon their hearts, and they observe them, awaiting the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come." --Aristides, Apology 15 [A.D. 140
