We are a Catholic community, centered around the celebration of the Eucharist. We have several
Masses each weekend, and Daily Mass is celebrated weekdays at 12:30 PM.
Other activities include the Newman Club (the Catholic student group at the University),
faculty/staff lunches, Bible Study, a Youth Group, an active Parish Women's Group, etc. In
addition there are other activities organized by the Parish and the Newman Club over the year,
such as retreats, picnics, hikes, guest lectures, spaghetti dinners etc.
Catholics at USC - faculty, staff and students - are encouraged to join us in praying and celebrating
our faith and studying our beliefs. Non-Catholics are also welcome to visit with us. Besides
students (both undergraduate and graduate), faculty and staff at the University, several area
residents have made St. Thomas More their church-home and are involved in the life of this
community.
Our Church's Patron Saint is St. Thomas More (1477/78 to 1535), martyred for his fidelity to the
truth of the Catholic faith despite the displeasure of King Henry VIII. The Newman Club is
inspired by the tradition of the Venerable John Henry Cardinal Newman (1801-1890), patron of
the ministry to college and university students. He was an author, an educator, and an advocate of
ecumenism and social justice. Our campus ministry is formally recognized by the Diocese of
Charleston, and we participate in several diocesan campus and young adult ministry programs.
Fr. Marcin is available for personal counseling and to administer the sacraments of reconciliation or
anointing of the sick. He will also be happy to talk with anyone interested in preparation for
baptism, confirmation or marriage.
Our Associate Campus Minister, Zach Dorsch, would love to talk with you about Newman Club,
becoming Catholic, etc. Stop by the Center and hang-out and get to know us.
We hope that you will make St. Thomas More your church home during your stay at USC!
