Catholic Student Center

Great Easter mass

The CSC's attitudes and schedule is designed to minimize the effort it takes for practicing Catholics to navigate a life filled with temptation and their own desire to stay faithful and virtuous. It succeeds wonderfully at that. It also has a lot of success in conversion and in regaining Catholics who stopped practicing compared to most parishes.

The dedication to accessibility in pursuing the faith is the most important thing about the CSC. But there are a few issues. It feels like the building itself takes years off your life with its dusty smells I could only identify as "deterioration" and maybe asbestos. Nevertheless, it's always open to students as a relaxed location away from the dorm and classes. In all honesty, a normal person (as in someone who has many non-religious close friends) will have trouble finding friends at the CSC. Many members of what I would say are the CSC community (friend groups formed at and centered on the CSC) tend to be polite rather than genuinely kind or loving, which makes talking to them really draining/difficult.

Outdated, but got a quick, focused mass and homily.

Amazing people who have built a strong, faith-filled, and welcoming community!

It's the best place for students of UMD. I like it's ambience

The priest that gave mass on Sunday 11/10/19 is fantastic and full of knowledge i could feel the holy spirit. Will be going back

The chapel is extremely beautiful and peaceful

Everyone is super kind here and the facilities are very nice. The garden/courtyard is lovely and so is the landscaping. Definitely a peaceful place to grow closer to God.
