The Archdiocese of St. Louis strives to teach and share our faith, serve others, and foster unity throughout the St. Once a part of Kenrick-Glennon Seminary's campus, the Cardinal Rigali Center in Shrewsbury, MO is today the headquarters and curia (governing body) for the Archdiocese of St. The Catholic Student Center at Washington University (CSC) is a house of formation and a community of hospitality for students of any or no faith.

We want students to go into the world healthier, happier, and holier.
