The Catholic Student Center @ UMD

Encountering Jesus Christ 

at the University of Maryland

The Catholic Student Center serves the next generation of Catholics and forms them to become leaders grounded in faith. Because of your generosity, students are invited to be known, loved, and transformed through an encounter with Jesus Christ - and in turn, students invite others on campus to do the same.

Through the prayers and support of donors, parents, alumni, and community we are able to provide...

• Daily Mass & Confession, Sunday Mass, and Eucharistic Adoration
• Impactful small group Bible Studies (30 separate studies last year!)
• Service Opportunities: encounter Christ with the poor in the DC Metro area, international service with the poor in Mexico City and more.
• In-person retreats where students can dive deeper in their faith (including a fall silent retreat)
• Providing an open place to study for students (students call CSC 'home')
• Intramural UMD sports - Catholic Terps co-ed teams continue to excel across all sports!
• Vibrant OCIA program for those interested in learning about the Catholic Faith in a welcoming environment

Your support goes directly to the students! Contributing today will help us continue impacting students' lives through the life-changing good news of Christ. It will help us build sustainability to meet the needs of our ever-changing and growing community of faithful here at the University of Maryland.

Ed & Noreen Keane share why they donate to the CSC...

"We have been blessed to be associated with the University of Maryland Catholic Student Center for the past fourteen years. We started going to the CSC for Sunday Mass when our children were in grade school and high school. We noticed the impact this had on us as we witnessed college students so faithfully celebrating Mass, welcoming us, and courageously living and sharing their Catholic faith. Fast forward to present where Brendan (Class of 2019) is a religion teacher, Colin (Class of 2022) is a FOCUS Missionary at WVU, Mary (Class of 2024) is a FOCUS Missionary at George Mason University, and Kyleigh is a rising sophomore (Class of 2027) who attends Sunday Mass, bible study and CSC events. The friendships our children have developed through the CSC have helped them to grow in their faith and strengthen their desire to share their faith. We thank God for the many blessings over these past years and pray that the CSC continues to thrive and help the students at the UMD."
