Following Duke University's Severe Weather policy, Masses scheduled for this Sunday have been cancelled.
The Church’s faith is built upon faith and reason. It is up to us to determine, honestly and within reason, which complex situations may prevent us from attending Mass. The Church never asks anything unreasonable of us, therefore one should never seriously risk one’s life to make it to Mass. If travel is unsafe, the Sunday Mass obligation is not in force. Please use good judgment, stay safe, and keep one another in prayer.

Join us for a month-long pilgrimage along the historic Camino de Santiago
Our group will begin walking in St. Jean-Pied-de-Port on May 15 and will conclude the journey in Santiago on June 14.
We are currently awaiting final confirmation from Peregrino, the pilgrimage company coordinating the final seven days of our route. This includes accommodation details, total trip cost, and payment deadlines. Once this information is provided, we will schedule a group meeting to discuss travel logistics for the start of the pilgrimage.
Please note that students will be responsible for arranging most of their own travel, with the exception of the final seven days, which will be organized through the pilgrimage company. Further details will be shared as soon as they become available.
If you are ready to commit, close to committing, or want to join but need more information -- please click the button below to let us know!

U.S. Bishops call Catholics to prayer amid climate of fear and division
January 29, 2026
Diocese of Raleigh
WASHINGTON — In a pastoral message marked by urgency and hope, Archbishop Paul S. Coakley of Oklahoma City, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, has issued a reflection and invitation to prayer in response to rising fear, polarization, and recent acts of violence connected to immigration enforcement.
“Your faith matters. Your prayers matter. Your acts of love and works of justice matter,” Archbishop Coakley affirmed, reminding Catholics that even in moments that feel overwhelming, faithful witness is never wasted in the eyes of God. He cautioned that a social climate shaped by fear and disregard for human dignity “does not meet the standard set by Christ in the Gospel.”
Referencing recent deaths involving immigration enforcement in Minneapolis and Texas, Archbishop Coakley expressed sorrow and condemnation of what he described as failures to respect the dignity of every human life. While acknowledging the need for laws to be respected, he emphasized that works of mercy, peaceful action, and care for neighbors are essential paths to peace and healing.
As a concrete response, Archbishop Coakley invited bishops and priests across the United States to offer a Holy Hour for Peace in the days ahead. Catholics nationwide are encouraged to participate—whether in parishes, chapels, or personal prayer—seeking reconciliation where there is division, justice where rights have been violated, and consolation for those burdened by fear or loss.
“May this Holy Hour be a moment of renewal for our hearts and for our nation,” Archbishop Coakley said, entrusting the country’s fears and hopes to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and calling the faithful to be instruments of peace and witnesses to the dignity of every person.
The full reflection and invitation to prayer are available through the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
