Our parish began in the early 1940's, and by 1947, a chapel and
student center were erected. Today the parish is made up of around
800 families and is located next to the campus of Iowa State
University. Students of the university are invited and welcomed to
be part of the parish community. There is an estimate of around
7,000 Catholic students that attend the university. Our liturgies
are vibrant and the community is welcoming. We have a mixture of
voicing and instrumentation within our music ministry. There are
three weekend liturgies and a fourth one on Sunday nights during
the academic college year.
