For more than 50 years, the Catholic Student Union at USF has ministered to the faith of students, creating a home for young adults to discover their faith journey and continue in their spiritual path of becoming life-long disciples of Jesus Christ.
As Alumni, you have witnessed the growth this ministry has already accomplished. We see the need to expand our mission's presence and facilities. We are intensifying our outreach to Courageously Live the Gospel, by ensuring each incoming class of students has an even greater opportunity to discover their Catholic faith journey.
"The Church will be here in the next generation because of campus ministry."
- Father Justin Paskert
Today, approximately 70% to 80% of young adults after high school are concidered "nones" - people that have no affiliation with a church or are not practicing their faith. The Catholic Student Union is dedicated to attending to the spiritual needs of college students during this important time of discernment.
The Catholic Student Union at USF is entering a new era acknowledging the need to expand the mission's presence and facilities to continue to spread the Word of God. Through partnering with supporters who share a common goal, the mission seeks to intensify its outreach to Courageously Live the Gospel and ensure the next generation of students have an even greater opportunity to continue their faith journey.
Campus ministry is working. The Catholic Student Union at USF has seen tremendous growth and transformation the past few years. Ash Wednesday and Easter masses had a record attendance of 805 and 889 worshippers.
Because of YOUR support, we are able to continue this growth!
