Our Mission

We believe that a relationship with Christ transforms every aspect of life — bringing joy, meaning, and clarity in a world that often offers confusion and distraction.

As a spiritual home for students at the University of Illinois Chicago and nearby campuses, we provide opportunities for prayer, formation, community, and service. Whether a student is curious about the faith or already deeply committed, we walk with them in friendship and discipleship, helping them grow into mature Catholic leaders for the Church and the world.

Everything we do is rooted in the following:

Divine Intimacy / Prayer

Personal prayer, the sacraments, and time before the Blessed Sacrament are anchors in our ministry and form the foundation of all authentic growth. We view these aspects of our faith as necessary pillars for growing in relationship with Christ.

Excellence

We strive to give God our very best — in hospitality, in communication, in our events, and in the way we care for our students. We aim to reflect the beauty and dignity of the Church in all we do, and hope our students can go out and be an extension of that beauty.

Humility

We recognize that all good things come from the Lord. We serve with open hands and open hearts, always seeking to listen, learn, and grow in faith together as a community.
