Mary DudleyDirector of Development and Alumni RelationsMary Dudley is excited to once again call Catholic Hoos home. Mary grew up in the Cajun deep south of Louisiana. She graduated from Christendom College in Front Royal, VA in 2018 with a Bachelor’s in Philosophy and a minor in Classical & Early Christian Studies. She then served as a missionary with FOCUS for 3 years: 1 year at the University of Pennsylvania, and 2 years on Grounds. After briefly joining the Advancement team at Benedictine College in Atchison, KS, Mary has returned back to Catholic Hoos to serve as Director of Development & Alumni Relations. In her free time, Mary loves reading, being a coffee snob, trail running, and discussing philosophy. The latest book that has been an inspiration for Mary is “He Leadeth Me” by Fr. Walter Ciszek. Mary met her husband at UVA, Nick Dudley (UVA Law ‘21), and they are thrilled to be married as of May 2022!

Grace JoyCampus Ministry InternGrace Joy is excited to be working as the campus ministry intern with the Catholic Hoos for two years! She is switching in her maroon for navy blue as she moves to Charlottesville after graduating from Virginia Tech with a degree in Human Development in May 2022. Grace is happy to keep her orange! Grace went into college thinking she was going to do one thing (study chemistry and pursue medical school) when the Lord had something totally different in mind! During her college career she made some changes with her studies, served in leadership positions at the Catholic Campus Ministry, spent some time in Alaska working at a Catholic summer camp, and decided to dive into full time ministry after she graduated! Grace is so curious to see what the Lord has in store for her during her time at UVA and she can’t wait to meet and worship with the Catholic Hoos!
