Located in the heart of Boston on the campus of Northeastern University, the Catholic Center serves students at NU and seven other schools: Berklee College of Music, Emmanuel College, MassArt, MCPHS, New England Conservatory, Simmons University, and Wentworth Institute of Technology.
In 2005, Cardinal Seán O’Malley asked the Brotherhood of Hope to open the Catholic Center for Northeastern students after a nearby parish closed. Cardinal O’Malley expanded the mission to nearby campuses in 2012.
Since then, the Brotherhood of Hope has partnered with SPO, Collegia Boston, and other ministries to create a home away from home for students in Boston. Today, over 150 students attend Mass at the Fenway Center each week.
