Our Ministry
As Catholic Cougs, we share Christ’s compassion for the lost and live with a missionary impulse. Our primary method of evangelization is relational, getting to know other Cougs and inviting them into our lives and community.
We are a community of disciples committed to one another and a shared way of life. This sacrificial commitment fosters an immersive culture that transforms lives.
We intentionally cultivate strong men’s and women’s environments, supporting relationships and vocations rooted in our values.
The ministry of Saint Thomas More centers around the invitation to a personal encounter with Christ and deep conversion through the power of the Holy Spirit.
We seek to grow in the gifts and fruits of the Spirit, living out the holiness and mission received at baptism and confirmation.
At Saint Thomas More, we strive to offer all of our lives as worship, for the rest of our lives.
Our spirituality is liturgical and sacramental, grounded in both personal prayer and communal celebration.
Our core mission is to help college students live as mature disciples of Jesus Christ.
Through authentic relationships, intentional community life, pastoral care, and solid teaching, we walk with students as they grow in holiness and mission.

Since June 2023, Saint Thomas More has partnered with Saint Paul’s Outreach (SPO) to become a missional Catholic community, on campus and beyond, committed to forming lifelong disciples.
Inviting Others Into Relationship
As a SPO Chapter, we are devoted to being a community that goes out and invites others in. We want every person to experience the deep relationship we’re all created for - with God and with one another.
Forming Lasting Discipleship
Our missional communities introduce college students and young adults to initial conversion, but they don’t stop there. We walk with them into Christian maturity, helping prepare them for a vocational launch, in their careers, relationships, and lifelong calling.
A Community on Mission
As a new SPO Chapter, our community of staff, students, and missionaries is actively being formed in discipleship and fully engaged in mission at WSU.
