The Catholic Center at NYU

The feast of St. Martin de Porres, O.P., one of the patron saints of The Catholic Center, is November 3rd, Election Day. Join us as we pray to St. Martin for civic harmony and racial healing.

Today we share an essay by one of our alumni, Br. Cyril Stola, O.P. (NYU 2017), on what it means to have zeal for justice:

Discover the Rosary this month! If you have never prayed it, come by and we will gladly help you learn how to. Blessed Rosaries are available at the Catholic Center throughout October. You will also find helpful resources on our website: nyucatholic.org/contemplativelife

Wherever you are studying, join in our prayers as we celebrate the Solemnity of the Holy Rosary! Today, we pray in thanksgiving for the Dominican Chaplains who have served at the Catholic Center at NYU, for our benefactors, and for the wellbeing of our University students, faculty, and staff. The Chapel remains open for private prayer. Stop by and pick up a blessed Rosary today, and pray the Rosary with us! Blessed Feast!

Today the Church celebrates the Feast of the Archangels: Sts. Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael. Let us pray that they protect us as we journey to the Father's House.
