Throughout the year, the CSC sponsors many social programs for all community members, including coffeehouses, dances, dollar dinner (all you can eat pasta for a dollar, the week before finals), a potluck picnic during the summer, and many other events. A strong graduate student and young professional group exists at the CSC, having monthly Happy Hours, a yearly retreat, and a host of other activities. Community members also take advantage of the ping pong, pool, and air hockey tables in the basement and the hammock outside for fun and relaxing times.
The CSC offers a large variety of faith development opportunities. Masses at the CSC are always full of energy and spirit, and there are many ways to become more involved in that atmosphere. Many community members embrace the Word of God in a physical form during the Mass by serving as liturgical ministers - as greeters, lectors, communion ministers, sacristan, and ministers of hospitality, or as participants in music ministry as singers and instrumentalists. The CSC plans several retreats each academic year including the Awakening and Growth retreats, a twilight retreat, a graduate student retreat, Spirituality on Tap, the Busy-Person's Retreat and a silent retreat. The CSC is also home to a scripture study, Praise and Adoration, Rite of Christian Initiation (RCIA) and Small Church Communities. The CSC library provides a range of Catholic resources and spiritual reading, in addition to being a quiet study space.
