Adelaide University Catholic Society

The Adelaide University Catholic Society (AUCS) is a student organisation at the University of Adelaide. The Society is focused on fostering a community of Catholic students, providing a supportive environment for those who wish to practice their faith while studying.

Founded on the Feast of St. Pius V, a staunch Dominican, and great reformer of the Church, notable for his publishing of the Roman Catechism and the Roman Missal. 

Key aspects of the AUCS:

1. Faith and Community: The society aims to bring together students who are Catholic or interested in learning more about the Catholic faith. It provides a space for students to meet regularly, pray together, and engage in faith-based discussions.

1. Spiritual Activities: The AUCS organizes regular Masses, prayer meetings, Bible studies, and spiritual talks. These activities help students stay connected with their faith during their university years.

1. Social Events: In addition to spiritual events, the society also organizes social gatherings, which provide students the opportunity to connect, build friendships, and support one another.

1. Outreach and Service: The AUCS encourages service to others and often engages in charity work, outreach programs, and volunteer opportunities within both the university community and the wider Adelaide community.

1. Inclusive and Welcoming: While the society is rooted in the Catholic faith, it welcomes students from all walks of life who are interested in exploring Catholicism, spirituality, and community life.

1. Affiliation: The AUCS is generally affiliated with the broader Catholic community and often works closely with local Catholic parishes, the Archdiocese of Adelaide, and other Catholic organizations, both in South Australia and nationally.

The Catholic Society provides a unique opportunity for Catholic students at the University of Adelaide to integrate their faith with their academic and social lives. If you're interested in joining or learning more about the society contact us at catholicsociety@clubs.youx.org.au
