The season of Easter is the most important of all liturgical times, which Catholics celebrate as the Lord's resurrection from the dead, culminating in his Ascention to the Father and sending of the Holy Spirit upon the Church. 

The octave of Easter comprises the eight days that stretch from the first to the second Sunday of Easter. It is a way of prolonging the joy of the initial day. There are 50 days of Easter from the first Sunday to Pentecost. It is characterized, above all, by the joy of glorified life and the victory over death expressed most fully in the great resounding cry of the Christian: Alleluia!

Are you studying abroad next semester? Interested in visiting the Eternal City during the Jubilee Year? Fr. Juan José will be in Rome the weekend of October 4-5 and would love to be your guide! After living in Rome for four years, Father knows the city well and will be sure you check out the best gelato and restaurants in the city -- along with visiting St. Peter's Basilica, the other three Major Basilicas, the Vatican Museums, and of course, walking around Rome. No RSVP is needed at this time; just collecting interested students! If this sounds like something you'd be interested in attending, let us know!
Help us grow our Ignite team! We are looking for students who are interested in making a real impact on the 2025-2026 School Year by helping plan and facilitate Ignite 2025! The Ignite Team will need to converse over the summer months to help us best prepare for this formative event. If you have any questions about the Ignite team, please reach out to Monica at monica.cronin@duke.edu.

"Death is not the last word, but there is eternal life in Christ."

In today's video reflection, Father Juan José reminds us that we have journeyed through Lent and arrived at the joy of Easter! Just as we love to watch the highlights after a great victory, today we hear St. Peter recount the key moments of Christ’s life, reminding us that the Resurrection is both a historical fact and a transformative reality.

This Easter season is a time of gratitude, renewal, and bold faith. May we live as faithful followers of Christ—seeking to know Him more, love Him more, and follow Him more each day.

Watch Fr. Juan José's reflection on our YouTube channel and within the DCC App.

"For it is in giving that we receive."
St. Francis of Assissi
 

Support What You Love

You might think, "I don't have enough to give."But giving isn't just for those with steady incomes—it's an opportunity to grow in trust and commitment to God and our faith in Him, even as students. 

The Duke Catholic Center isn't like a typical parish with families supporting it every week, and the DCC is not funded by the university or the diocese. In fact, over 85% of our funding comes directly from individual contributions made by students, parents, and alumni.

 

Whether it’s $5, $10, or the price of your weekly coffee, your monthly sacrifice supports Mass, small groups, music, retreats, and more for current and incoming Catholic students.

One of the greatest acts of charity and important ministries of all the baptized is to pray for the living and the dead. The greatest and most powerful prayer we have is the Mass, since the fruits of the Mass are the very fruits of Jesus' redemption. For that reason, anyone may have a Mass celebrated for loved ones who have died, or for the living who have some need or are celebrating some special occasion. This is an ancient Catholic practice, and all are invited to exercise it when it seems appropriate. 

The DCC is now accepting Mass Intentions for our Daily Masses. Please note the following when making your Mass Intention:

  • Mass intention requests are only accepted through the online Mass Intention form (also available in the DCC App).
  • Mass intention requests are available for Daily Masses only and will be granted as close to the requested day as possible.  If it is not possible to comply with the primary request, the next closest date will be scheduled. 
  • Mass Intentions are accepted up to 5:00 pm on Wednesdays for the upcoming week based on availability. 
  • For each Mass request, there is a $10 suggested stipend, as determined by diocesan policy. 

Please indicate your desired date and for whom the Mass intention is for in the 'Add a Note' box when completing your payment.
