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. 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.

"I have no taste for corruptible food nor for the pleasures of this life. I desire the bread of God, which is the flesh of Jesus Christ, who was of the seed of David; and for drink I desire his blood, which is love incorruptible." --St. Ignatius of Antioch, Letter to the Romans 7:3 [A.D. 110]
