Our Mission
We are a Christ-centered, Catholic community built on love, faith, and justice through mercy.
We journey together, identifying and developing leaders by helping one another discover our God-given gifts.
Our community is Spirit led and grows through our discipleship, spiritual openness, activities, and service.
St Joseph University Parish ministers to Indiana State University, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College, and Ivy Tech.
All are welcome!
Spiritual Opportunities
SJUM serves the spiritual needs of college students in the Terre Haute area. We offer a weekly gathering called Maximize Your Faith, which provides a space to learn about and share your faith as you grow in community with colleagues. Eucharistic adoration is available at St. Joseph University Parish every Thursday evening. To dive even deeper into your encounter with Christ, we encourage you to join a Scripture-based small group with fellow students. We also offer various retreats, days of reflection, social events, and resources for prayer and spirituality.

Testimonies
“For me, the ministry has helped bring me back into my faith after I had lost my way. It has given me a forum to speak openly about the faith and help others towards their faith as well.”
