Description of Regular Meetings/Activities

The most regular activities are TNL (Thursday Night Liturgy) every week at 9:15pm at St. Thomas Aquinas Church, 2210 Lincoln Way (across the street from the Memorial Union Parking Ramp). This mass is a student focused celebration at which all liturgical ministries are done by university students. As many as 25-30 small groups meet regularly throughout the semester, some on campus, others in students' homes around town.
