∙ WELCOME LETTER ∙  

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ!

Welcome to Vandal Catholic! We look forward with great anticipation to greeting you when you arrive on campus!

We’re blessed to have a large staff who all care deeply about our mission and are working hard to continue to support it. We’re busy planning for Fall Outreach and have a year full of a variety of opportunities for people to grow in their faith in God and to gather in prayer. It’s a simple formula, truly, but one that is the difference between life and death. We’ll have a mixture of opportunities for building community, such as BBQs and hikes; building an understanding of faith, such as monthly lectures by Dr. Gracjan and Bible studies; and building a relationship with God, such as Adoration and retreats. I’m excited to say that we’ll be using an internationally acclaimed program for evangelization of those who are not religious called Alpha. Beginning the first Wednesday of September and ending before Thanksgiving, Alpha is a program that offers small group discussions on life’s important questions. Anyone, student or otherwise, at all interested in the Catholic faith, or faith in general, is invited to attend. 

As we move forward, please be assured that health safety is a top priority. In coming weeks, more information and details about opportunities for our parish and campus ministry will follow. There are an abundance of ways to get involved, grow in your own faith, and give back through service. Everyone has a place, and for the greatest chance for success, the old nautical saying applies: All hands on deck!

May God bless and keep you,

Fr. Chase Hasenoehrl

Hey Vandals!

My name is Martha Mendez, and it is my privilege to serve as the Coordinator of Campus Ministry here at St. Augustine’s Catholic Center. 

First off, welcome! Whoever you are and wherever you come from, you are welcome here! Whether you are here to become an engineer, teacher, lawyer or the very first Vandal lemonade stand enthusiast, we want you to know that St. Augustine’s is a place you can come to learn, grow, and practice the Catholic faith. 

Through Mass, Adoration, Confession, Friday Fellowship, Game Nights, Swing Dances and more, St. Augustine’s is a place where you can come to be strengthened in Jesus through the Sacraments that He offers through His Church, and find strong, faithful community and fellowship. A place where you can both laugh until you cry and begin to learn the answers to some of life’s biggest questions. 

Please stop by and introduce yourself to me, Fr. Chase, or any of the other office staff so we can make sure you’re made aware of all the things we offer here. We’re in the office Monday through Friday, 8:00 am- 5:00 pm, or you can join us at one of our scheduled events. If those times don’t work for you, just give the office a call and we’ll make time to meet you another day!

God Bless, 

Martha Mendez 
Coordinator of Campus Ministry
St. Augustine's Catholic Center
