Participate in service projects on Martin Luther King Jr. Day

Hundreds of Catholic University of America students, faculty and staff are expected to take part in the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service Jan. 16. 

Campus community members will travel across Washington, D.C. to make food for the hungry, clean parks and neighborhoods, visit the elderly and to serve those in need. Sites for service include the Franciscan Monastery, St. Mary's Cemetery, So Others Might Eat (SOME), the Anacostia River Keeper and more.

They will gather in the Przybyla Center Great Rooms at 8 a.m., with breakfast and transportation provided. Participants should bring their own reusable water bottle and a mask. Those serving should dress for the weather, while wearing Catholic University clothing if possible, close-toed shoes, long pants and clothes that could get dirty. 

If planning to serve, please register. For information on the day of service, call the Office of Campus Ministry at (202) 319-5575 or email Team Service with any questions or accommodations

    President's Note: True North

    In 1941, our alumnus Venerable Fulton J. Sheen published A Declaration of Dependence. With prophetic clarity, Sheen’s Declaration helps us see that the founders’ claims about the “self-evident” fact that we have all been created by God rests upon a tradition that preceded them by 18 centuries. This role is one our Church has continuously played in the American drama.
