"I had the chance to go on the spring break mission trip to Pensacola, FL, where we worked hard building homes for Habitat for Humanity and dove deeper into our calling in life. The bonds I made there fortified my faith and sense of belonging in the Church...The community and opportunities at St. Tom's took my Purdue graduate experience to the next level. I grew closer in faith, learned more about myself, and had a lot of fun along the way." - Joey Pinakidis, Boiler Catholic Alum

Mission trips provide students and resident parishioners with an opportunity to share their faith throughout the world, while also developing strong relationships with fellow parishioners. Check out the link in our bio to support our ministry!

It's officially Day of Giving 2023! Our theme this year is Timeless Traditions.

Over the years, St. Tom’s has been a home for many students at Purdue University and residents of the Greater Lafayette community to come and receive Christ into their hearts. The legacy that Boiler Catholics, parishioners, and friends of St. Tom’s have left throughout history grows the young Church, forming the Catholic leaders of today and tomorrow.

Please join us today in celebrating all St. Tom’s does for students and resident parishioners and help grow our mission! Check out the link in our bio to make a gift on this special day!

Many students and residents dedicate their time and talents to support our many pastorate teams and councils here at St. Tom’s.

We are so thankful for the many ways our parishioners give back to this wonderful community.

Spring Training is providing an opportunity for both resident and student parishioners to explore their faith more so they can go out into the world and evangelize. Spring Training pushes participants to own their faith, step out into discipleship, and reach more hearts in the community.

Several students lead the various ministry groups here at St. Tom’s. Without their dedication to service and their faith, it would be nearly impossible to have as many programs that we do.
These students dedicate time, effort, and their talents (along with being busy college students) to the various programs here. Through their leadership, other college students discover new passions and friendships within the walls of our church, while further developing their faith.
