The
Catholic Community at American University is dedicated to fostering opportunities for growth in Catholic faith, fellowship, and service for students, faculty, and staff at American University. The AU Catholic Community consists of various independent Catholic groups at American University unified under the pastoral guidance of the office of the Catholic Chaplaincy located in the Kay Spiritual Life Center on the Main Campus of American University.
As Catholics, we are blessed to have a welcome presence at American University and the freedom to worship and celebrate our faith openly at the heart of the university. The central positioning of the Kay Spiritual Life Center on the AU Campus is a reminder of the founding motto of American University: "Pro Deo et Patria" (For God and Country). Reminded of this founding principle, we seek to put God first in our daily lives.
There are many opportunities to build great faith-filled relationships through our community. These begin, but don't end at Sunday Mass!
