On this page, you see just a few of the students and alumni who have been positively impacted by your prayers and financial support to make this ministry possible.  What you don’t see are the 5,000 plus students currently enrolled at Lindenwood University in St. Charles.  Your sacrifice, prayers, and generosity are what enable us to reach out to them every single day.

​

The college years are a time when so many young people walk away from the Church.  We are able to reach out to them at a time when they have so many questions, and so many decisions to make.  Even more, we have the privilege of being the face of Christ to many young people on campus, showing them the love that He has for them and walking with them whether they are experiencing the heights of youthful exuberance, or the crushing sorrows everyone inevitably experiences.  It is an honor and a privilege to be a part of that, and all of us at the Catholic Student Center are grateful every single day for being called to this.

​

However, none of this is possible without the sacrifice and generosity of others.  So much of what we do is really about the contributions others make which enable us to be here.  We thank you for your financial support, your prayers, and all you do to help ensure young people know Jesus Christ, and the beauty of the Catholic faith.

​

With that in mind, we would like you to prayerfully consider making a donation to support our mission.  We are currently working to pay off a large debt incurred when the Archdiocese of St. Louis purchased our house from Lindenwood.  After years of using various facilities on campus, this purchase allowed us to have a true home to serve the college students, and serve as a base of operations for everything we do now.  The Henry J. Elmendorf Catholic Student Center is now a welcome space for everyone who drops by.  It is a place where students can pray, laugh, find a shoulder to cry on, and receive some good advice.  Most importantly, they can meet Jesus directly through daily Mass, or simply by dropping into our chapel to pray for a few moments.

​

Your prayers and financial support are greatly needed, greatly appreciated, and will no doubt be greatly rewarded by God who loves these college students to death.  Thank you for all you do, and please consider making a donation.  God bless!
