Mission
The mission of the Catholic Center at Kennesaw State University is to transform the lives of our students in Christ.
We do this by helping each other deepen our relationship with Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church, which He founded, through prayer, service, fellowship, and spiritual formation.
We seek to love and serve Christ and our neighbor, and to help each other to grow into the person who God has called us to be.
History
We were founded in 1995 by Fr. David Dye. Fr. Linus DeSantis took over that year, and served until 2006, followed by Fr. Paul Burke. Fr. Joseph Morris was appointed in 2007 and served until summer, 2021. Fr. Bob Frederick was appointed in July, 2021 and is the current director of the Catholic Center at KSU.
The building of the Catholic Center has also seen some change since it was acquired back in 1995. We have done our best to keep up with a constantly growing community. In 2009, we added an addition onto the side of the building where the chapel currently resides.
Students look forward to our Fall and Spring Retreats annually. Starting in 2007, Our retreats have evolved over the years, but are always highly anticipated, reasonably priced, student-led, and priest-guided.
