We encounter God in an intimate relationship through daily prayer, the sacraments and the Scriptures.

“The reason for our existence is to quench the thirst of Jesus. When he asked for water, the soldier gave him vinegar to drink—but his thirst was for love, for souls, for you and me.”
(Mother Teresa of Calcutta)
Where We serve
We’re serving at the University of Arkansas, focusing on outreach to Greek students and connecting them with St. Thomas Aquinas on campus!
Our Story
I grew up in Texas and found Christ in 2012. Baptized in 2016, I struggled with my faith until 2019 when a pivotal question led me to seek deeper biblical truth. My journey, influenced by my fraternity and community, led me to Catholicism. After encountering Jesus in the Eucharist and discerning my faith, I was confirmed in 2023. Now, I’m dedicated to sharing Christ’s love on campus full-time.
