Aquinas House, affectionately known as AQ among students and alumni, is the Catholic Student Center at Dartmouth College. The mission of the Aquinas House community is to promote an authentic encounter with the person of Jesus Christ through an adult expression of the Catholic faith. This expression of faith is lived through celebration of the liturgy and participation in the sacraments, regular service trips and retreats, faith discussion groups, and social events that aim to build community. The primary goal of this programming is to provide opportunities for students to grow in love of God and neighbor, empowering them to live their faith most fully both at college and upon graduation.
