The Catholic Student Center at Washington University is a beacon of formation and hospitality, welcoming students of all faiths and backgrounds. Our mission is to ensure that every student who walks through our doors feels known, loved, and cared for. By fostering a nurturing environment, we guide them in the way of Christ, helping them grow into compassionate, courageous leaders equipped to positively impact the world.

This House that Fr. Gary built is more than (just) a building; it’s a home where students can study, gather, engage, be part of a community, deepen their capacity for giving and receiving love, and become healthier, happier, and holier individuals.

In addition, Herring House, the CSC’s residence, offers our interns, peer ministers, and campus ministers the chance to live in community and provides them the opportunity to grow, both personally and spiritually, as they live out their commitment to service. Herring House nurtures the spirit of shared mission and mutual support that is central to our work.

To maintain this sanctuary and continue Fr. Gary’s legacy, we need your support.
Your generous contributions will be specifically dedicated to maintaining the buildings, chapel, and grounds of the Catholic Student Center, as well as Herring House. This includes:

      • General Repairs: Addressing wear and tear, painting, and other improvements to keep the space welcoming and inviting.
      • Structural Upkeep: Ensuring the integrity of the building by addressing any necessary repairs to the roof, walls, and foundation.
      • Utilities and Amenities: Keeping essential systems such as heating, cooling, plumbing, and electrical functioning smoothly.
      • Grounds Maintenance: Caring for the outdoor spaces so that students and CSC Friends have a beautiful and serene place for reflection and community activities.
