Established by the Franciscan Order in 1777, historic Mission Santa Clara is a consecrated Roman Catholic church that sits at the heart of Santa Clara University’s campus.
Today, Mission Santa Clara remains the central hub of our campus’ religious and spiritual life. As part of SCU’s Division of Mission and Ministry, the Mission Church continues to welcome our faculty, staff, alums, and neighbors to join our student body in worship.
Aside from our normal liturgical events, the Mission can also host certain artistic and cultural events that are in line with the nature of the University and Mission Santa Clara as a Roman Catholic church. For more information on scheduling an event, a list of upcoming events, or parking restrictions for events visit the Mission Church Event Information website.
