Cardinal Weekend is Catholic University’s annual homecoming and reunion extravaganza. All alumni, parents, faculty, staff, and students are invited to take part in the largest gathering of the CatholicU Cardinal family.

In addition to regular festivities, special events will be hosted for reunion classes that graduated with a year ending in 0 or 5.

Now, one question remains–will we see you this fall?!
