Via, Vita, Veritas - the Way, the Truth, and the Life!
We strive to lead Oakland University students to Jesus through the Sacraments of His Church (The Way), through Faith formation opportunities (The Truth), and through building a life-changing community that shines as a beacon of light at Oakland University (The Life)!

The Sacraments
The Sacraments
As Catholics, we believe that each reception of the Sacraments is a profoundly personal encounter with Jesus. Our Lord loves us deeply and gives Himself to us through the Sacraments of His Church. See our Mass and Confession schedule below:
