| About Us |
Catholics Seeking Christ (CSC) is a movement among young adult Catholics who are striving to know Christ and follow him in their lives, particularly through their particular vocation of serving their country in the armed forces.
CSC groups, comprised of 8-10 Catholic young adult military personnel, meet together regularly for a discussion about faith, as well as for prayer and fellowship. Groups are led by young adult peers who receive training, resources, and continued guidance and support from the Office of Young Adult Ministry of the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA. | |
