Contact Us

The Catholic Community at Stanford University is a family of students, faculty, staff, administrators, their families, and local community members. With the guidance of the Holy Spirit and through a variety of social, educational, liturgical, and community service programs, we seek to form the Christian conscience, help members appropriate the Catholic faith, educate for justice, facilitate personal development, and form leaders for the future. We support the University's efforts to achieve its goals in keeping with our own traditions and in an environment of religious and cultural diversity. We are a personal parish in the Diocese of San Jose under the pastoral care of Dominicans and lay leaders.

CATHOLIC COMMUNITY REQUEST
Thank you to the generous member of our community who donated the frequent flyer miles for our interns training. We are hopeful that we will find someone to help us with our second need. Neither of our interns for next year has a car. Therefore, we are looking for anyone who has a car they would like to donate or let us use beginning in September. If you can help please call Kathryn Gray (650/857-9014) or talk with Fr. Carl. Thank you in advance for all your support of our community.

COMMUNITY PRAYERS
Please keep Charles Kelly and Gillonne Wachter in your prayers this week. And, please pray in thanksgiving for the 12 years of marriage of Lesley and Mark Ruzon and for continued happiness for their family and all the families in our community.

The Grad Student Catholic Fellowship will be meeting this week to discuss the Sacred Scriptures: what our Catholic tradition tells us about their interpretation, and how to learn and get the most out of reading them.
