Are you interested in becoming Catholic? Or were you baptized as a child but have yet to celebrate the Sacraments of Confirmation or Eucharist? Our OCIA group focuses on the teachings and experience of Church and prepare individuals to celebrate the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist during the Easter season.

OCIA will begin during the Fall Semester. Time TBD

Small Group Studies offer an opportunity to dive deeper into the faith. They are a place to feel more comfortable expressing viewpoints and engaging in dialogue. They allow relationships to grow through direct contact and personal interaction. We share our lives through relationships, and this sharing provides the support we need to become better Christians who can change the world.

Our student organization, Bengal Catholics,  hosts regular social events like BBQs, Swing Dancing, Movie & Board Game nights, hiking, & other activities, as well as attending the various events at ISU like Bingo night & football games.

Join us on Monday & Wednesday from 12-1pm for our free lunch. Generously donated by local parishioners, we have delicious soup each Mondays and Grilled Cheese & Chili each Wednesday. St. John's also has a 'Starving Student Supply' (cans of soup, mac & cheese, oatmeal, etc.) for when you’re hungry and in the building.
