Welcome to the Catholic Trojan Family...

Ever since 1923, when sixty-two students gathered together to form the Newman Club on campus, the Catholic tradition at USC has grown with the university itself. Locations on campus have changed, pastors have come and gone, and generations of students (including baseball coaching legend Rod Dedeaux) have attended mass and graduated.

Today, the Center serves a university-wide community of 10,000 Catholic students,  one of the largest west of the Mississippi. This year, the Catholic Center celebrates its 50th Anniversary as a parish!

We will have several special events to commemorate this special milestone. On September 9, we will be celebrating Father Lawrence’s installation as pastor followed by a BBQ. On December 9th, we will hold a 50th Anniversary mass,  reflecting on the last half century at Our Savior Catholic Center.

It is an understatement to say that 2007-8 will be a special school year at the Center. We look forward to seeing you at our festivities!    

Though we aim to serve USC's faculty, staff and local community, our focus has remained to provide students with an opportunity to gather together to share their faith, make friends and serve others.
