Ringing in Renewal -
-
A beacon of faith and community stands in the heart of Purdue University: St. Tom's. Its towering spire, adorned with cast bells, does not merely mark the time or call the faithful to worship; they are an invitation to look up, listen, and remember. Amid the constant buzz of campus life, St. Tom's offers a sanctuary of worship and reflection, a communal space that beckons everyone to come in, pause, and rejuvenate.
As we approach the 75th anniversary of St. Tom's in 2026, it is time for us to reflect, celebrate, and ensure that St. Tom's is well-positioned to continue its mission as the Catholic Center on the Purdue campus:engaging the youthful energy of all its members and nurturing their faith journey across all generations through liturgy, spiritual and intellectual formation, stewardship, and justice with peace.
All things 75th-related will be housed on this page, so visit often! Stay tuned for more historical fun facts, oral history videos, and information on upcoming 75th Anniversary Celebrations.
