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.
Visit our First Year page to learn about O-Week events, our fall semester retreat at the beach, and get registered for ministry.
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 Duke Catholic Center has been a cornerstone of my journey [at Duke]. More than a religious community, I have found a family of students who also prioritize their faith. I met most of my friends here, and it has helped us grow together.
