The Catholic Student Center serves the Catholic community on the campus of Sam Houston State University to build up the faith of students, faculty and staff, and to manifest the love of Jesus Christ which brings us together and sends us as disciples into the world. We gather to share meals in fellowship, support one another through prayer and study, and to serve the needs of each other and the larger community in Huntsville and beyond.
The CSC is a center of the Office of Young Adult and Campus Ministry which represents the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston to the Universities located within the Archdiocese. Through campus Newman Centers we seek to evangelize the academic community by means of a broad ministry which forms the faith community, appropriates the faith, forms Christian conscience, educates for justice, facilitates personal development, and develops leaders for the future. We see the Church entering into the very heart of the academic community, challenging faculty, staff, students and institutions with the claims of the Gospel.
Catholic Campus Ministry are often called "Newman Centers" after John Henry Cardinal Newman (1801-1890). After distinguishing himself as an Anglican theologian at Oxford, he became a Catholic in 1844, and left a legacy as an important Catholic theologian and apologist. His book, The Idea of a University, is a classic in theory of higher education.
