As a Catholic parish, the celebration of the sacraments is central to our mission, with the Eucharist as the source and summit of our lives. Experiences in prayer, scripture, and spiritual accompaniment help to foster a deeper encounter with the Living God. We seek to provide multiple opportunities throughout the year for students to meet Jesus and live fully for Him.

An unknown faith cannot be lived, therefore we aim to cultivate both a personal relationship with and an intellectual understanding of Jesus Christ & His Church. Learning how to present the Gospel to others is also an integral part of our formation.

We address an integral component of growth in charity by helping students to live the Beatitudes. Because individual interests and charisms vary, students have a variety of opportunities to be of service to the elderly, vulnerable, unborn and impoverished within our own community, across the country and around the world, as well as walking with other students in discipleship.
