Mission The Catholic Graduate Student Association adopts the mission statement of Our Savior Parish and USC Caruso Catholic Center. Our Savior Parish and USC Caruso Catholic Center embraces the University of Southern California’s mission of “the cultivation and enrichment of the human mind and spirit.” We realize this mission by worshiping in communion with the Roman Catholic Church, fostering fellowship, promoting social justice, and nurturing the spiritual life of students, alumni, faculty, staff, and members of the local community. Through these means, we seek to develop transformative Catholic leaders bearing witness to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
