Young Alumni Mass & Dinner
June 14, 2026
Reconnecting the Trojan Catholic family beyond graduation.
Our Young Alumni Mass & Gathering brought together more than 150 recent graduates for an evening of faith, fellowship, and reconnecting with the Trojan Catholic family. The evening began with Mass celebrated by Fr. Matthew Wheeler '10, followed by a reception and dinner where alumni had the opportunity to renew old friendships, meet fellow graduates, and reconnect with the community that helped shape their faith during college.
The evening featured USC Football General Manager Chad Bowden as the special guest speaker, who encouraged alumni to continue living their faith boldly beyond graduation. Jacqueline Sarkissian '11 served as the night’s emcee, helping make the evening a joyful celebration of faith and the Trojan Catholic community.
As graduates navigate new careers and life beyond USC, gatherings like these remind them that they will always have a home at the USC Caruso Catholic Center. Together, they celebrated not only where God has led them since graduation, but also the lifelong community that continues to accompany them in faith.
Being a Trojan Catholic doesn't end at graduation. By giving back, young alumni help ensure that future students find the same community, formation, and lifelong friendships that made the Caruso Catholic Center feel like home.
