Catholic Student Association

Our Catholic Student Association (CSA) is an official Southeastern student organization. Membership and participation is open to all students. Participation is a great way to meet students who share your faith-based values and identify yourself as part of an organized Catholic presence on campus.
Our CSA nights have varying activities from one meeting to the next, including praise and worship, prayer, scripture study, service, and fun activities. CSA nights are usually on Mondays during each semester from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. The group gathers in the auditorium of the Student Center after the “business” portion of the session for FREE PIZZA and fellowship! Our CSA is involved in ministry projects serving the St. Albert Community. For example, CSA members serve as catechists for our Children’s Church program at our Sunday Masses. Occasionally, our CSA hosts free movie nights with popcorn in our recreation room where a large flat-screen TV is located, and Christmas carols at the Hammond Developmental Center (HDC), home for those with challenging disabilities.
For more information or to join, contact Sr. Renée at 985-345-7206 or email.

Directors are religious brothers and sisters. For more information, contact Sr. Renée at 985-345-7206 or email.

LCCS (Louisiana Catholic College Students)

St. Albert is affiliated with the Association of Louisiana Catholic College Students (LCCS), and Catholic Student Associations at most Louisiana universities are affiliated as well. Each year in late January there is a statewide conference at which our SLU Catholic students are usually well-represented. St. Albert pays the conference registration fees of our students who want to attend. The conference provides a great opportunity to meet other Catholic college students from around the state.
Each college or university also names two representatives to the LCCS Board which plans the next year's conference.
