GROW YOUR FAITH WITH ‘CUSE CATHOLIC

Home to Catholic Life at Syracuse University, SUNY-ESF, OCC and SUNY Upstate Medical University

WELCOME

to the SU Catholic Center!

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to build a strong community that is completely accepting, inclusive, and bound together, regardless of race, ethnicity, or sexual orientation, by God’s universal love. We demonstrate that love through the celebration of the sacraments, small faith-sharing groups, fellowship, volunteer service, music, and social action.

We seek with all that we do to provide a welcoming, fun, and loving place for people to express their faith, to know that they are not alone and to discover the love that Jesus has for them.

Stations of the Cross

Fridays in Lent, we gather for the Stations of the Cross at 4:30pm.
