About UT Austin Prism
UT Austin Prism is a dedicated Catholic LGBTQ+ and ally ministry serving the University of Texas at Austin community. Operating under the umbrella of the University Catholic Center, Prism provides comprehensive support and programming designed to create an inclusive spiritual environment where students can explore the intersection of sexuality, spirituality, and faith. The organization specializes in creating safe spaces for LGBTQ+ and ally students to engage in meaningful dialogue, develop authentic friendships, and access pastoral support grounded in Catholic tradition and contemporary values.
The ministry offers a range of activities and educational initiatives tailored to meet the diverse needs of the UT Austin student body. Through ally training programs, social events, adoration opportunities, and community gatherings, Prism facilitates conversations around identity, belonging, and spiritual growth. The organization emphasizes authentic dialogue and welcomes students to participate exactly as they are, fostering an environment of acceptance and mutual support.
Based in Austin, Texas, Prism operates with the conviction that Catholic faith and LGBTQ+ identity are not mutually exclusive. The organization draws inspiration from Pope Francis's message of inclusion and mercy, translating these principles into practical ministry on campus. Whether through formal programming like ally training sessions or informal community building through social events and prayer opportunities, Prism remains committed to supporting students in their spiritual journeys while affirming their authentic selves.
