Making the Mission Possible
Thank you for considering a gift! You enable the CSC to prepare students to be the “light and salt” for the world.
The Catholic Student Center (CSC) is blessed to have the incredible support of our Friends, including our alumni, parents, and community members. Their gifts – whether through attending Mass, praying, donating, or volunteering – enable the CSC’s mission to thrive. This includes essential programs such as our music ministry, student retreats and Sunday Suppers, as well as maintaining our facilities and staff.
Washington University does NOT provide any financial support to the CSC. Other than a small yearly grant from the St. Louis Archdiocese’s Annual Catholic Appeal, the CSC is funded entirely through private donations.
For further information, please contact Jim Dryden at dryden@washucsc.org or 314-252-8118.
