About the Parish

Our Lady of Wisdom University Parish is a parish
in the Catholic Diocese of Austin.  We serve the needs of the Catholic students, faculty, and staff of Texas State University.

We began as a Newman Center in 1914 and have been serving TX State University for over 100 years!  25 years ago, H.L. "Bud" Grant donated  a substantial gift to move our ministries to our current location at 100 Concho Street.  This move created more chapel space that could now hold a couple hundred people. It also allowed ministries to expand and start, ministries that are still thriving today, Bobcat Awakening, MET, LOA, and the invitation to SPO and FOCUS missionaries that have deepened the faith of many. 

Now, through Encountering Christ, we are discerning how best to serve as we grow again. 

Our Lady of Wisdom University Parish is located adjacent to the campus, next to Downtown San Marcos, at the intersection of LBJ Drive and Concho Street.
