Coalition of Student Ministries

A student coalition, comprised of leaders from each of the student-led ministry groups, meets once a month to plan events and programs that serve the students of University of Florida and Santa Fe Community College.  Catholic Student Center Ministries are under the direction of two student Coalition Coordinators elected by their peers in student leadership and affirmed by the entire student population. Scroll down to contact the Coalition Coordinators about activities at the Student Center.

CSCM Mission

As a registered student organization at the University of Florida and a member of the National Catholic Student Coalition, CSCM has several purposes:

  • To provide opportunities for leadership, spiritual and personal development                    
  • To foster a supportive community
  • To offer fellowship and service activities
  • To strengthen the faith of Catholic students
  • To serve as a point of collaboration for outreach to the student body as a whole

Special Events

Catholic Student Center Ministries sponsors Blast-Off Week each August to welcome students to the Gainesville Catholic community and familiarize them with the activities available at St. Augustine Church, The Catholic Student Center. 

Catholic Awareness Week, each Spring semester highlights the student ministry groups of the Student Center and provides an opportunity for continued spiritual growth. This semester CAW will take place January 27-February 2, 2008.


Senior BBQ is hosted each Spring, allowing the student community to celebrate with the graduates (Tuesday, April 22). Toast to You, an elegant wine and cheese gathering is also held in honor of the graduates (April 17) and then the grads are encouraged to invite their family and friends to the Baccalaureate Mass and Reception (April 27).
