HARVARD CATHOLIC CENTER

The Harvard Catholic Class of 2025 is continuing the tradition of presenting a Senior Class Gift to the Harvard Catholic Center. This gift allows you to honor your graduating senior and leave a legacy to benefit future Catholic students. 

The Fellowship of Catholic University Students (FOCUS) has been a blessing for the Harvard Catholic Center’s ministry since 2012. Each year, four missionaries join the Center to work in tandem with our undergraduate chaplain to evangelize across Harvard’s campus. Because of the missionary’s presence on campus, the HCC has experienced tremendous growth in the number of students attending Mass, participating in Bible studies, attending the weekend retreats, and conversions to the Catholic faith.  The collaboration with FOCUS has been so successful that 17 Harvard graduates have become missionaries themselves on college campuses across the country.  

The Senior Class Gift this year, is to renovate the FOCUS missionaries’ office. This space is where students frequently visit with our missionaries for discipleship and Bible studies, but the room has become worn and outdated over the past 13 years. The goal for this renovation is $25,000, which will fund new furniture and carpet, and a fresh coat of paint and give the space a more welcoming feel.
