Upcoming Events

This Advent, the Catholic Center is helping to support the Spark of Love toy drive. This special community campaign collects new, unwrapped toys and sports equipment for underserved children and teens in Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Orange, Ventura, and Riverside counties. Safe, quick, and convenient donations are possible through the Spark of Love toy gift registry. We also welcome financial donations as they allow us to provide toys for communities with overwhelming needs. All proceeds will go to buying toys or sports equipment for the children.

Here are three ways you can donate:

1. Buy a toy online at the Spark of Love toy gift registry.
2. Text "SPARK" to 24365.
3. Visit the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation to make a donation online via credit card.

This Advent season, let us embrace hope amidst the struggles in our world. Let us joyfully come together, as one Catholic Trojan Family, to celebrate and prepare for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ this Christmas. 

Get into the Christmas spirit at one of Catholic Trojan Family's most beloved community events! This year, due to COVID-19, we will host this event virtually on Wednesday, December 9 at 5:30 p.m. Watch on Facebook or Vimeo. We hope you will celebrate with us!

The Catholic Center is a recognized charity on AmazonSmile! What does that mean? When you visit AmazonSmile and select Our Savior Parish - USC Caruso Catholic Center as your charity of choice, the AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% of the purchase price of eligible products. This is a great way to purchase the things you need while giving back to the CC!

• At 9:00 a.m. we will live stream on Facebook and Vimeo. This live stream will replace the online Zoom Mass over winter break.
• At 11:00 a.m. we will have an in-person, outdoor Mass in the CC courtyard. There will be no in-person, outdoor Sunday Mass at 5:00 p.m. during winter break. The only in-person, outdoor Mass we will hold is at 11:00 a.m. Please plan accordingly, and register if you plan to attend.
  

Create weekly predictions for Pac-12 games with your fellow Catholic Trojans. Cast your votes before game time and join the fun! Please contact Cami or Katie to participate.

Every year for the feast of All Saints Day we invite parishioners to write the names of their deceased relatives or loved ones in our Book of the Dead at Our Savior Parish. This year, due to COVID-19, we invite you to share with us their names so we can write them in the Book of the Dead for you. We will pray for them during our daily and Sunday Masses throughout the month of November.

In addition, we will be creating an Instagram story memorial for each deceased member of your family or friendship circle from October 31 through November 2. We will honor them in a special virtual memorial. Please submit your memorial request online. 

Premiering October 9, 2020, on Spotify and Anchor, we will be having our first Catholic Center student-run podcast!
