Faith Groups

One of the best ways to meet other people and to grow in your faith is to join one of our faith groups! These small groups offer an opportunity to reflect on Scripture and to explore how faith plays a part in your own life, while fostering deeper relationships with a more intimate community of fellow students. This is one of the best ways to get involved at the CSC, so check out the variety of groups we offer to connect with others and grow in your faith formation.

Core Community

Core Communities are small, student-led, faith-sharing groups that meet for one hour each week to discuss your lives and faith through the lens of the Gospel. This is one of the pinnacle experiences of students at the CSC, and a great way to make friends and grow and share in faith and community.

To get more information or join a community, sign up through our quick form. It’s never too late to join!

“I found core communities to be a time when I could step back from the rest of the week, and just discuss my week as well as my faith.

From an outing to Mission Taco, to conversations about St. Paul’s letters to the Romans, some of my best memories were made with my core community."

— Will McKay

Gratia Plena

Gratia Plena (GP) is a community of undergrad women of faith who seek radical self-growth and holistic wellness, by building healthy and holy lives.

This group is a unique space on campus for women to find accountability in their personal growth, to build a sisterhood, and to live out their faith in a holistic way.

Gratia Plena is open to all undergrad women at WashU who are interested in pursuing their faith, growth, and friendship. GP meets once a week, discussing various topics related to faith and femininity.

“Gratia Plena helped me to become more connected to other Catholic women my age at WashU, many of whom have become my closest friends.

I love that it’s such a supportive community that both accepts me as I am and pushes me to grow both personally and spiritually.”
