WCU Catholic Campus Ministry

Welcome to the web site of WCU Catholic Campus Ministry, serving the Catholic students of Western Carolina University in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Charlotte. Please take time to explore this site, and our faith, by using the navigation menus to the left and top of this page. We would like for you to stay in touch with us -- especially if you are a WCU student!

Our mission is to be a community of Christian faith, hope, and love, offering a spiritual home to all students of Western Carolina University. We encourage the growth of the whole person, through prayer and support, outreach and service, fellowship and fun. We provide an open learning environment rooted in respect and hospitality. We acknowledge the importance of each individual and their role in the Body of Christ.

Catholic Campus Ministry invites all students at Western Carolina University to participate in a supportive, caring and challenging Christian community.

The Catholic Student Center offers Sunday liturgy, retreats, dinners, prayer services, social events, and service opportunities for students who wish to develop their faith and put that faith into action.

We also foster a sense of BEING Catholic in an area where we are considered a minority. WCU Catholic Campus Ministry is an outreach of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Charlotte and St. Mary's parish in Sylva, NC.

Through prayer and support, outreach and service, fellowship and fun, our Catholic Student Center provides a faith family you can come home to when you are away from home.
