The Synod on Synodality: Theology, Reception, and Ecumenical Challenges | Tuesday, October 22 | 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm

The Synod on Synodality is an initiative of the Catholic Church aimed at fostering a more inclusive and participatory Church. Convened by Pope Francis in 2021, it is a multi-year process that seeks to engage all members of the Church—laypeople, clergy, and religious alike—in a deep reflection on how the Church can better listen, dialogue, and collaborate at all levels. In anticipation of the closing of the Synod on Synodality on October 27, the Fons Vitae Initiative at Duke Divinity invites you to join a webinar to explore the theology of synodality, the local reception of synodality, and the prospects and challenges of ecumenical participation in the Synod on Synodality. Register for the Webinar here.

Keys to the Kingdom of Heaven: The Foundations of the Sacrament of Penance | Tuesday, October 29 | 6:00 p.m.

Join the Thomastic Institute for a lecture by Fr. Dominic Langevin, OP entitled "The Keys to the Kingdom of Heaven: The Foundations of the Sacrament of Penance" in Westbrook 0014 in the Divinity School.

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.
