Since 1908,Saint Paul’s Catholic Student Center has existed for UW-Madison students to discover and practice the Catholic faith. Here, students of all backgrounds form lasting friendships and find the support they need for a successful, edifying college experience.
As the parish that specifically serves UW-Madison’s campus, Saint Paul’s welcomes more than 3,000 Badgers each year to attend Mass, receive the sacraments, and participate in community activities. Our priests, staff and student leaders make Saint Paul’s a place where students are known by name, valued in our community, and free to explore a deeper meaning to their lives in Jesus Christ.
Our building is open daily from 7:00 am – 11:00 pm for students to study, pray, and hang out. In any given week, students can participate in:
- Mass offered four times every Sunday and twice daily
- Weekly dinners, prepared by and for students
- Silent prayer in the chapel every weekday morning
- Speaker series and intellectual courses on the Catholic faith
- Over 20 retreats and service trips throughout the year
- Over 70 small groups that meet weekly
