Reflecting on the Journey
ā€œPrepare to encounter Christ at Christmas and in your daily life through prayer, sacraments, and scripture."

During this final, short week of Advent,Ā Father Juan JosĆ© encourages us to reflect on our Advent journey and renew our love, hope, and joy in God's blessings. Remembering that living with patience, joy, and openness to God's will is the best preparation for Christ's coming.

Please visit the DCC App to hear Advent messages from Father Juan JosƩ, alongside Duke students, and Scripture reflections from The Better Part.

Wishing you and your loved ones a blessed and joyful Christmas!

Director of Music Ministry
Ā 

The DCC is seeking a full-timeĀ Director of Music Ministry (DMM) to help lead students into a deeper experience and love of Christ especially through Music Ministry. The DMM should deeply appreciate the Churchā€™s liturgical and musical tradition to contribute effectively to the communal prayer life of the DCC.

The Duke Catholic Center celebrates liturgies in Duke Chapel, Memorial Chapel, and Goodson Chapel at Duke Divinity School. The DMM has access to the worldclass organs and pianos of these sacred spaces to lead our liturgical music program.

Together We Thrive:
Help Sustain Our Faith Community


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

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.Ā 

Whether it's $5, $10, or the price of your weekly coffee, a regular weekly or monthly financial commitment shows your love for this community and keeps it thriving for all of us! Let's join together in intentional giving and make an impact today.Ā
