The USC Caruso Catholic Center is the Catholic Church serving the students, alumni, faculty, and staff of the University of Southern California. Since its humble beginnings in 1923, when just sixty USC students gathered together to form the Newman Club, the Catholic Church has been a vital part of the Trojan Family. When Our Savior Parish and USC Caruso Catholic Center opened its doors in 2012, the vision and purpose was to be a welcoming, loving Catholic Community that helped all students find a home amidst the chaos of college life while growing closer to Christ. The church is considered the gem of the Archdiocese and the Student Center, the gold standard of Campus Ministry in the United States.
