About Us

The Saint Philip Neri University Parish was established in 1946 as a Newman Center to serve Roman Catholic students at the University of Tulsa. In 1991 it moved to its present location at 440 South Florence Avenue. On May 1, 2022 it became a Personal Parish to serve the college community at TU and in the Diocese of Tulsa.

An active ministry on the TU campus, St. Philip Neri provides weekly liturgies, as well as educational, social, and service opportunities for students of all faiths. Students enrolled at other colleges and universities in the Tulsa area are encouraged to participate, too.
