Welcome, Catholic Undergrads!

New Stanford Catholics, we are so excited to welcome you into your Stanford Catholic family. We absolutely cannot wait to meet you!

We know you will probably be involved in several groups on campus. We hope that this will include your Catholic Community at Stanford, at whatever level of engagement you’re ready for: Sunday Mass in Memorial Church (9am, 4:30pm, 9pm), weekly small group (a core part of the Stanford Catholic experience), and other prayer, social, service, and learning opportunities. And, frosh, don’t miss the chance to be part of a frosh family!

Your Catholic Community at Stanford is here for you as you adjust to life at Stanford. Sign up to receive our weekly updates, peruse the opportunities on our website, and get in touch with one of us—we’d love to connect with you!

These are exciting days. There is an adventure ahead, and it starts now.

Your companions on the journey,

DJ Maceda and Jesus Olivares
Catholic Undergraduate Student Association co-presidents 

Fr. Dominic DeLay, Fr. Bob Glynn, Sr. Gloria Marie Jones, Fr. Xavier Lavagetto, Teresa Pleins, and Sr. Regena Ross

Too often we walk alone. Check out one of our small groups, which is at the core of our Catholic experience at Stanford. Small groups of peers get together weekly around the Bible to talk about how their faith impacts their daily life. Beginning in the fall, several small groups will meet each week, including an all frosh group.

Those who made the Fall Retreat are invited to participate in the Spring Retreat as well to examine the fruits of the previous discernment.
