St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Student Center is a spiritual home away from home for Drake University students. The Center serves as a place of worship, prayer, study and service. All university and college students are welcome and are not required to be Catholic in order to attend and participate in Center sponsored events. In a relaxed atmosphere, students build community, are invited to share faith and retreat experiences, and are challenged to reach out in service to others in the local community while addressing issues of Catholic social teaching and life issues from conception to natural death. At the Catholic Student Center, students are encouraged to pursue meaningful personal lives by embracing growth in prayer, faith, integrity and service as founded in Jesus Christ. Resident parishioners are from the Des Moines Metro Area and have a dedication to support the university students. Resident Parishioners join students in all aspects of outreach, fellowship and liturgical ministries.
The focus and of the Center is the Drake University campus: students faculty/staff and others. In addition, St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Student Center hosts the diocesan office of campus ministry, serving a dozen campuses throughout Southwest Iowa.
