USC Caruso Catholic Center

Since 1923, when sixty-two students gathered together to form the Newman Club on campus, the Catholic tradition at USC has grown with the University itself. Locations on campus have changed, pastors have come and gone, and generations of students (including baseball coaching legend Rod Dedeaux) have attended Holy Mass and graduated.

Today, the Center serves a university-wide community of 10,000 Catholic students, one of the largest west of the Mississippi. We've moved into our new Caruso Catholic Center and will commission our new church on December 9, 2012.
