Welcome Welcome to St. Thomas Aquinas, your parish and Catholic Student Center at Iowa State! St. Thomas Aquinas is a place to grow in your faith and meet new friends. Come and participate in our weekend Masses and our 10:00 pm student-planned Thursday Night Mass. Our library and student center are open every day from 8:00 am to midnight. There's free wireless internet access throughout the building! You can study in the lounge, enjoy the quiet of the library, or tackle group projects in an open classroom.

This is your parish. Get involved by helping in a service project or joining a small group, serving as a Eucharistic minister or a religious education teacher, attending a lecture or going on a retreat. If you have any questions, stop by the office or talk to one of our four peer ministers!

Grant, O merciful God, that I may
ardently desire,
prudently examine,
truthfully acknowledge,
and perfectly accomplish
what is pleasing to You,
for the praise and glory of Your Name. Amen.
-Saint Thomas Aquinas, patron of students
