God's Loving Plan: From 'Don't' to 'I Do'

The Falcone-Arena House (FAH) offers the Duke Catholic Center a unique opportunity to minister to the Duke Catholic community. To create the right environment of welcome and community, the DCC offers four Duke Catholic students the opportunity to live together in the FAH, offering a spacious and comfortable housing opportunity at a much-reduced housing rate so that these four residents may facilitate a healthy sense of Catholic community on the property. We are currently seeking resident applications for the 2025-2026 School Year; click here to learn more and apply!

February brings the Feast of St. Valentine, and in popular culture, the broader celebration of romantic love in adopted Valentine's Day celebrations. And the U.S. Catholic Church celebrates National Marriage Week every February 7-14. 

Catholicism views dating as a discernment period between a man and woman when the couple is placing God first in their relationship and turning to Him to seek whether they are called to the vocation of marriage together.

"Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, [love] is not pompous, it is not inflated, it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury, it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."   1 Corinthians 13:4-7

“Authentic, vulnerable, and committed:” In a good relationship, two people strive to do just this. It is in relationships that we find out who we really are, if we embrace the vulnerability of exposing more and more of ourselves to another person. Commitments frees us to safely enter more deeply into relationships. This is the joyful paradox: by binding ourselves to another, we become free to love.

Together We Thrive:
Help Sustain Our Faith Community


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, 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.
