Find Your Calcutta
Mother Teresa of Calcutta once said, “Find your own Calcutta. Find the sick, the suffering, and the lonely, right where you are — in your own homes and in your own families, in your workplaces and in your schools. You can find Calcutta all over the world, if you have eyes to see.”
If you’ve ever even thought about doing one small act of kindness for someone, this day is for you! Find Your Calcutta (FYC) is an opportunity to: learn more about giving back with the Catholic Center, visit a few of the sites that we volunteer at, and meet other amazing USC students who have a heart for service. It will be held on Saturday Sept 14th from 9-5. For more information, check in with the Missions & Outreach table after Mass! Calcutta, India, was the place where Mother Teresa was called to serve. Where is your Calcutta??
St. Francis Food Pantry
Make a difference in the community and help the less fortunate! Every first Saturday of each month, we gather at the Catholic Center for prayer and then volunteer at the St. Francis Center, where we prep food boxes and distribute them to the homeless and families experiencing food insecurity. This is a great opportunity to serve with fellow Trojan Catholics and a popular outreach opportunity, so please be sure to RSVP!
