Small Groups
This is a great way to meet other people! These groups meet all over campus--probably even in your dorm or apartment building! Groups focus on scriptrue and applying it to college life. We'll have sign-ups at masses the weekend of Aug. 15-16 or sign up now!
Retreats
Multiple retreats coming up. Community building retreats like Antioch and silent retreats like Magis Retreat. Find more information here!
Look forward to these events in Fall 2020!

TNL is a weekly student planned mass at 9:15pm. This is a great way to reconnect with friends part way through the week by celebrating mass together and enjoying the occasional social after. We start again Thursday, August 20! Contact Shari, shari@staparish.net, to get involved with this or other liturgies.
New Student Retreat: August 21-22, 2020
This is a retreat for all new students to ISU at the beginning of Fall semester. This is a great way to meet new people, form community, and find your home at St. Thomas! There are talks by older students, adoration, small group discussions, and lots of fun! It will be hosted at St. Thomas and on the ISU campus. You'll sleep in your own dorms and meet up again on Saturday. We will be done on Saturday night at about 8pm. Register here by August 17! Contact Emily@staparish.net with questions!
