Looking for a Catholic Community Living for Fall 2026?
Imagine a Catholic community where you can be your authentic self and come home to like-minded Catholic brothers and sisters. A community where you can pray, laugh and intentionally live your Catholic faith. Come be a part of a Catholic community called St. Joseph Vineyard (SJV), which existed in Aggieland from 1994-2012 with over 100 students, reawakened in Fall 2026!
Come and experience the beauty of the Christian East through the Eucharistic Liturgy (Mass) on March 26th (Liturgy of St John Chrysostom) and 27th (Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts) at 6pm at Christ the Good Shepherd Chapel. The liturgies will be in English and are celebrated by a priest of the Romanian Byzantine Catholic Church, a sui iuris Eastern Catholic Church in full communion with Rome.
