Our Mission
Our mission is to bring young men and women to Jesus Christ, through full participation in the life of the Church, challenging them to be faithful disciples, equipping them for their vocation and Christian mission in the world. We serve area collegiate students including SD Mines, University Center, SDSU-Nursing, and Western Dakota Technical College.
Although the new building opened in 2013, the Center has served the spiritual, social, and leadership formation needs of Catholic students at SD Mines and area collegiate institutions for over 40 years! Our Christ centered activities continue to attract students who want to foster true friendships. Our FOCUS missionaries reach out to the college age students and foster their relationship with Jesus Christ.
