Happy Fourth of July from The Catholic University of America! We hope all of our Cardinals are having a joyful Independence Day filled with family, fun, and, (of course) fireworks! 🎆 🇺🇸

God, Country and Leo XIV 07/04/2025

🇺🇸 This Fourth of July, we celebrate more than independence: we celebrate Pope Leo XIV, the first American pope.

As we wave our flags today, we do so with pride, knowing the Holy Father might just be doing the same from Rome.

Thanks, Rob Neal, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, for sharing his insights this Independence Day. 🇺🇸

Last week, Catholic University welcomed clergy and religious from across the country for Pilgrims of Hope, a conference hosted by the Office of Diocesan Engagement in celebration of the Jubilee Year of Hope. Designed as a time for renewal and connection, the gathering offered encouragement and support to those engaged in ministry within the Church.

The University also launched Cardinals for Christ, a new alumni network for clergy and religious.

Archbishop Broglio delivered the keynote address, offering a historical reflection on the many extraordinary contributions of Catholic University alumni to the Church. President Kilpatrick also recognized alumni celebrating milestone anniversaries.
