Congratulations to alumnus, Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, on his election of Dean of the College of Cardinals.

Cardinal Tagle earned his doctorate in sacred theology from Catholic University in 1987. In 2014, he was awarded a doctorate in Humanities honoris causa and was the main celebrant and homilist at Baccalaureate Mass.

We may be a little biased, but we think he might be the ultimate Cardinal ♥️ Join us in congratulating and praying for Cardinal Tagle on this well-deserved honor.

Catholic University mourns the passing of Robert J. “Bob” Talbot, Class of 1959, who died peacefully on Oct. 5 at the age of 88.

For more than four decades, Bob served Catholic University as a student-athlete, baseball coach, dean of admissions and athletic director. His impact on generations of Cardinals and the University he loved will not be forgotten.

Please join us in praying for Bob’s family and all who mourn his passing. ❤️

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace.

And we’re just getting started.

Across the country, Cardinals came together to celebrate the beatification of one of our own ❤️

From St. Louis, Missouri, where Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen was beatified, to a watch party campus in DC, alumni, students, faculty and friends gathered to mark this historic moment together.

Today, we celebrate the beatification of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, the first alumnus and professor to be beatified in Catholic University’s 139-year history.

For more than 20 years, Catholic University was Sheen’s spiritual and intellectual home. His legacy still lives on across campus, from the classroom where he taught to the chapel where he prayed.

We are proud to celebrate this historic moment for one of our own ❤️
