Join us!
Incoming Class of 2030!
The Duke Catholic Center is a vibrant community on Duke's campus and we cannot wait to get connected with you!
If you are coming to Durham this summer, we hope you'll stop by our offices on West Campus in the Page Auditorium (right next to Duke Chapel!) to say hello and introduce yourself.
We hope you will join us in the fall semester for our Ignite retreat at the beach! Great for first-year students (and open to all!), the Ignite retreat is a wonderful opportunity to meet and grow in relationships with other Catholic students at Duke.
A ministry of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Raleigh, the Duke Catholic Center serves a Catholic student population that is the largest single denomination on campus. Of the 13,300 students at Duke University, about 20% of them are Roman Catholic. The ministries of the DCC serve and support the spiritual development of countless students during critical transitional times in their lives.
The DCC fosters the formation of future Catholic leaders and promotes the integration of our spiritual, intellectual, and social lives.
The DCC has been one of the greatest parts of my Duke experience. I’ve met some of my closest friends here, and it’s been a place where I can truly be myself and grow in faith. It’s truly been a gift to have a place on campus to call home no matter the circumstances of life.
