Jacob's Society is the Catholic Students Organization at LC. The group’s mission is to create opportunities for growth of their Christian community through spiritual, social, and service activities. They also strive to foster an understanding of the Catholic faith amongst members of other denominations.

The group meets each Tuesday at 10:50 a.m. in Room 116 of the Guinn Religious Education Center. Meetings include pizza fellowships; share times with students, priests, and special guests; praise music, and open discussions.

Members of the group are active in the community, participating in service projects including sponsoring families at Christmas.

Jacob's Society is supported through the efforts of the Diocese of Alexandria and led by Sister Juliana of the Disciples of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Students can recieve a 1/2 Spiritual Enrichment Credit (chapel credit) for each Jacob's Society meeting they attend.
