About us

Our ministry assists the 10,000+ Catholic students and employees at the University Park campus of Penn State in nurturing their faith through daily and weekend liturgies, retreats, service and social justice projects, prayer and faith sharing groups, and student organizations.

For those preparing to join the Church, we provide the opportunity to learn about the faith in the company of a warm and supportive community through the Order of Christian Initiation for Adults. In addition, Catholics discerning a religious vocation have the support and guidance of ordained clergy.
