At St. Thomas More, we recognize that we are not only students, but also a part of the larger Columbia community during our time at USC. The Carolina Catholic Campus Ministry makes time to reach out and impact the community in positive ways including: feeding the homeless, visiting with the elderly, organizing and donating to clothing drives, and so much more. Getting the chance to serve others allows us to fully participate in the Corporal Works of Mercy.
To stay up to date with service opportunities around STM and the Columbia community, join our service GroupMe here, or contact Jose Shough at for more information.
