The Atlanta University Center (AUC) recently celebrated the official opening of the new Catholic Center, formerly known as The Black Catholic Student’s Organization, located 165 James P. Brawley Drive. “Our primary mission is to serve the Catholic students,” said Father Edward Branch, director. The Catholic Center is designed so that AUC students, as well as the faculty and staff can come together for spiritual and religious development. The center is available to everyone, including residents of the surrounding area. Although it is called the Catholic Center, it is open to all religious backgrounds and denominations. Father Edward Branch of Archdiocese of Louisville, Kentucky, is the full time director of the program. The Catholic Center provides a chapel for daily mass and reflection, a small library with Catholic information and resources, a multi-purpose room for classes and differ­ ent events, and four housing quarters for specially selected AUC stu­ dents. This year’s first residents are: Sheila Knight (Spelman College), Kevin McKinney (Morehouse College), Keidra Taylor (Clark Atlanta University), and Martin Turner (Morehouse College). “When the decision was made to have the center, I filled out an application, it was an exciting idea and I guess my curiosity made me do it!” said Kevin McKinney. The students maintain the center and welcome all who come. As a part of their selection, the students are required to organize programs and sponsor events to attract visitors and serve the commu­ nity. (From left to right) Father Branch, Kevin McKinney, Sheltta Knight, Archbishop The Catholic Center is open from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., James P.
