No figure has caused more controversy in world history than Jesus of Nazareth. What did he say and do that stood out? What do we know about his life? Why did the Roman Empire want him dead, and why are Christians convinced he is alive? Join us for our next installment of “CREDO: Exploring Catholic Faith” on Sunday, September 26 after our community dinner. For more information email Sr. Kathy.
In the hustle and bustle of our lives, we need to take time to listen to the still small voice of the Spirit. Our fall silent retreat is on Friday, November 5 through Sunday, November 7. This retreat is designed to give you that space to slow down and disconnect from your devices and schedules so that you can spend some quality time with God. Everyone will have single rooms and the grounds are spacious. Please contact Sister Kathy via email to learn more.
The second session of Contemplating God: Thinking About Love. This series will be led by Nova Forum Senior Fellow and executive director, Professor David Albertson (University of Southern California).
In modern culture, falling in love is viewed as irrational, a private affair, even as sport or entertainment. But for ancient and medieval Christians, the mystery of human love, including physical desire, was a matter for profound contemplation. Love has its own rationality that points us toward the meaning of God and the purpose of life. We’ll study three episodes in Catholic meditation on love. What is desire, and is it rational? Why does love engage body and soul? What does physical desire have to do with loving God? Join us for three Thursday evenings in September in the CC Library for conversation and pizza!
For questions, email Novaforum@catholictrojan.org.
Football season is well underway, and it is time for the Trojans to take on the Fighting Irish! Join us at the CC on Saturday, October 23 at 4:00 p.m. to watch USC play Notre Dame. Contact Tricia via email with any questions!
Don't miss out! Our final session of Seeking Wisdom Colloquium- Contemplating God: Thinking about Love. Join us on Thursday, October 7 at 6:00 p.m. at the CC courtyard for pizza and discussion!
Session III: "Love, Desire, and Reason: Medieval Women Mystics" will be led by Professor David Albertson and features a discussion around poems and letters by Hadewijch of Antwerp.

St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta once said, “Find the sick, the suffering, and the lonely right where you are.” This sentiment underlies the community outreach opportunities at the Caruso Catholic Center.

Opportunities include: tutoring, mentoring college-bound high schoolers, catechesis, work with the homeless, responding to food insecurity, and ministering to senior adults.
