A message from Tulane Catholic at Tulane University

Welcome to Tulane Catholic! We started in the 1930’s as a Newman Club for Catholic students on campus. Over the years, this ministry of the Archdiocese of New Orleans was developed into a vibrant Center for Catholic life on campus served by the Friars of the Order of Preachers (the Dominicans), As of July 2026, the archdiocese now actively ministers to the student and alumni community.

As Tulane University seeks to form students not only for success in their professions but also for service to their local community, the Catholic Center provides an indispensable spiritual dimension. Spiritual formation is not just about devotion, but a solid foundation of intellectual and moral values from which one thinks, chooses and acts in the world as a human being with integrity. We provide opportunities to learn through lectures, classes and personal study, to serve through community programs and our mission to Honduras, to pray through liturgy and prayer groups, and to grow through fellowship, dialogue, Reconciliation and spiritual direction. Through their involvement at the Catholic Center,

Tulane students will have a space to integrate all they learn and become saints for the Church and the world.  If you would like to know more about us, please call us at 504-866-0984 or email us at [email protected]. We would love to hear from you!
