American University's Catholic Community

In AUCatholic, we dream of missionary disciples who stand out for their love for Jesus, their authentic life of prayer, and their missionary zeal.  They are ambitious for the Kingdom of God on the campus and in the world.  Trials and opposition have produced in them a humble and confident faith.  They are not afraid to speak about Christ, they pray for the conversion of those around them, and they irradiate the New Life through their wisdom, personal influence, and purity.  

We dream of AU Catholic students who invest in authentic, Christ-centered friendships, who will not only find a Catholic community when they graduate, but who have the faith, confidence, and training to create it where they find it lacking.  We dream of students for Christ and Christians for the world.  

We are excited to take a group of 15 students to the 2024 SEEK Conference in St. Louis, MO on January 1-5th, 2024. SEEK is a Catholic conference for college students from around the world. The conference includes talks from renowned Catholic speakers, adoration,  daily Mass, and opportunities to form deep friendships with thousands of young people. You can learn more information about the SEEK Conference here. 

The total cost for one student: 

$375: registration costs

$190: hotel costs

$5oo: flights

Who We Are

As we begin the 2020-2021 school year, we welcome back all those who have been involved in AUCatholic in the past. And we extend a special welcome to all new students—freshmen and transfers—at American University and all D.C. area schools. Yes, it’s a strange year to begin studies, but we know that Christ has something special in store for each of us this year! Please support us in this mission to reach out to students in this challenging time. They need Christ now more than ever.
