Since 1969, John XXIII Catholic Center has helped students at the University of Tennessee connect to their faith and connect to other students and faculty who share their faith. Since 1973, the priests at John XXIII have been members of the Paulist Fathers Religious Community. With UTK staff members and many parishioners from Knoxville. Over the years, John XXIII Catholic Center became John XXIII University Parish and Catholic Center, the Blessed John XXIII, and finally Saint John XXIII University Parish and Catholic Center, as our patron became a Saint of the Church.
