An Evening of Mission and Impact in Orange County
An evening reflecting the heart of our ministry at USC with our Orange County Trojan Catholics
We were grateful to gather with our Orange County friends and benefactors at the Newport Harbor Yacht Club for a special evening celebrating the mission of the USC Caruso Catholic Center.
During the reception, Fr. Matt shared how the generosity of our community directly supports our ministry of accompanying students in their faith during these formative college years. Through the sacraments, authentic community, and intentional discipleship, the Caruso Catholic Center continues to form students who are rooted in Christ and prepared to lead lives of faith beyond USC.
Guests also heard a student testimony from Jenna Gallaway ’27, who shared firsthand how the Catholic Center has shaped her spiritual life. Jenna spoke about the transformative power of being known, supported, and encouraged in her faith.
The continued support of our Trojan Catholic community makes moments like these possible and ensures that students have a place to encounter Christ, grow in discipleship, and belong to a vibrant Catholic community. We are deeply thankful for the partnership shared in this mission and for the commitment to forming the next generation of Catholic leaders.
