About: Sometimes it is difficult to answer the call to serve. We don't know where to go, and we don't have anyone to go with. ACT, a new group at St. Tom's, gives the Purdue Catholic community a chance to come together at least once a month to serve Christ in their neighborhood. You don't have to come every weekend - join us when you can!
