Welcome
We are students, alumni, faculty and staff at UCSD, as well as young adults and residents of the surrounding area, who celebrate life together as the Catholic Community at UCSD. Hospitality and welcome are hallmarks of our community. We are passionate about living the Gospel in the context of our Catholic faith.
The photograph to the right shows the Student Ministers and Co-Advisors for this school year with Father John Paul Forte, OP and Friar Jairo Sandoval, OP. We warmly welcome the participation of all interested in promoting Christian values and walking beside us as we strive to live the Gospel.

Hip-Hop Mass, Week 7 Events
Hip-Hop Mass May 18
Hip-Hop mass is coming, May 18th at 5:30 PM. Mark your calendars! Don’t miss this opportunity to pray and worship with the younger generations. Liturgical ministers are still needed. Contact Kristina Killian to volunteer. International Banquet
The International Banquet is really a “Hunger Banquet” We didn’t lie to you…you will meet new friends , you will enjoy yourself at a cultural experience that will change your life! And it is only a $1 for all that you will eat. But what we didn’t’ tell you is that you’ll experience how the world’s wealth is distributed, how it feels to sit in solidarity with hungry people, how to reach out to a hungry world. Join us for an experience you won't forget as you learn more about poverty and hunger in the world today. Be part of a unique experience that will open your minds and hearts. Tuesday, May 13th from 6-8 PM at Roetter Hall. Pastoral Council Nominations
The Pastoral Council is in need of new student, young adult, and resident community representatives. Please consider nominating yourself or others to serve the community through the Pastoral Council. Nomination forms are available in the back of the church and can be turned in anytime in the next three weeks. And save the date: June 1st, 2:15 PM, for the Pastoral Council Discernment Process.

Commencement Mass has been scheduled for Saturday, June 21st at 7PM. We hope that everyone can attend, but we ask that all those who are graduating please write your name on the list at the tables after Mass, so that you will be included in our prayers. Are you interested in making a graduating senior's day? Than sign up to be on the Baccalaureate Committee and help plan the Baccalaureate Mass. Sign up after mass at the tables. Ask not what your seniors can do for you, but what you can do for your seniors. Last 7:30 PM Mass on May 18
Sunday, May 18th will be the last time there is a 7:30 Mass at Good Samaritan. The Sundays following May 18th will only have a 12:30 and a 5:30 Mass. Mark your calendars! New Calendar and Photos Available

The Young Adult Community is sponsoring an initiative called the Workout Campaign to strengthen the Catholic community at UCSD by encouraging interaction between the resident community members, YAGs and students. We will offer our labor services to resident community members with chores such as painting, assembling shelves, moving furniture, spring clean up, walking the dog and possibly more. In addition we can offer assistance with hi-tech services such as setting up wireless routers, installing software, configuring PCs, cell phones, etc. In return, community members’ generous donations in appreciation will go entirely and fully to the Building Tomorrow campaign. For more information, to express interest, or for suggestions, please email ucsdyag.outsource@gmail.com or talk to Sherman or Edwin. Building Tomorrow
