*during Fall & Spring semesters It was named the H.L. Grant Catholic Student Center in honor of H.L.

A Brief History of this Ministry:
Our ministry at this university began in 1915 with the formation of the Newman club which met at the local parish located next to campus. The Newman Club name changed to Catholic Student Organization in the Fall of 1969, the same year SWTSC changed to SWTSU. In 1993 our current facility was built after an exchange of land with the University. Grant, a businessman

from Houston and friend of Bishop John McCarthy of Austin. In 2006 students asked Bishop Gregory Aymond on his visit to our facility why the it did not have a saint name like other chapels. That got the ball rolling and after a series of presentations and votes, the chapel was named St. Jude Chapel in early 2007. At the beginning of 2012, after consultation with our new Bishop, Joe Vasquez, and the Presbyteral Council, a group of priests who assist our Bishop on important matters in the diocese, we decided to take the steps necessary so that this ministry could be established as a parish independent of the local parish, St. John. Bishop Vasquez asked the community to discern what name we would suggest and why. We solicited nominations and voted on those narrowing the list down to 5. From this list Bishop Vasquez selected Our Lady Of Wisdom Catholic Center.

“Sunday Masses for Sunday January 25th, will still be celebrated at OLOW. That said, we highly encourage you to use your prudential judgment for you and your family. If traveling to Mass would place you or your family at grave risk due to inclement weather, the canonical obligation to attend Sunday Mass does not apply. Please prayerfully consider the weather conditions, road safety, and your travel routes.

As a result we will be pushing “Called By Name Sunday” to Sunday February 8th! Please keep praying for Vocations and discerning those names to submit! Stay safe and stay warm!

In Christ,
Fr. Jared Cooke”
