This signature fall weekend combines elements of Alumni & Family Weekend (previously held in February), New Student Family Weekend, and St. Dominic Weekend. Featured events are designed to engage students and their families, welcome alumni and friends back to Friartown, and honor the college’s most generous donors. This is a great opportunity for visitors to experience the ongoing transformation of PC’s campus in the comfort and beauty of a New England fall.

Homecoming 2025 is the weekend of October 3 – 5. Alumni, parents, students, faculty, staff, friends, and fans — if you consider yourself a member of the Friar family, we hope you will join the celebration on campus.

You can look forward to a full schedule of events and activities including the Friar 5K, Friar Fest, Late Night Madness featuring Carrie Underwood, athletic competitions, and more.

Campus will be busy with activity for the weekend. Guests are encouraged to enter campus through the Huxley Avenue gate (accessible via Admiral Street). The GPS address for this entrance is 212 Huxley Ave. Please see Campus Parking, Satellite Parking, and Shuttle Information above for availability.

She has sold more than 85 million records worldwide, recorded 29 #1 singles (14 of which she co-wrote), is the most-awarded female country artist for singles in RIAA history, and has seven albums that are certified Multi-Platinum or Platinum by the RIAA, with over 72 million total RIAA certifications to date, all while continuing to sell out arena tours across North America and the UK. All 10 of her albums (including nine studio albums and her 2014 Greatest Hits: Decade #1) – three of which she co-produced – have debuted in the Top 10 on the Billboard Top 200 chart for all genres, beginning with her 9x platinum debut album, Some Hearts, which was released in 2005. She has won over 100 major awards including 8 GRAMMY® Awards, 16 ACM Awards including three for Entertainer of the Year (the first female in history to win twice and the only female ever to win three times), 25 CMT Music Awards (holding the record for the most award wins ever for the show), 17 American Music Awards, 10 People’s Choice Awards, and 7 CMA Awards. She has been a proud member of the Grand Ole Opry since 2008 and was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2018. She has also built a successful business portfolio inspired by her passion for health and wellness, as she founded and created the fitness and lifestyle brand, CALIA by Carrie Underwood, and her first book, FIND YOUR PATH, was an instant New York Times bestseller in 2020 when she also launched her popular fitness app, fit52. Carrie launched her exclusive year-round SiriusXM channel, CARRIE’S COUNTRY, in 2023, and created two additional channels, CARR-DIO by CARRIE’S COUNTRY and SAVIOR SUNDAY DAILY by CARRIE’S COUNTRY, both of which stream exclusively on the SiriusXM app. She became the first artist to perform at the Resorts World Theatre in 2021, where her REFLECTION: The Las Vegas Residency played to packed houses through April 2025, and is the longest-running Las Vegas residency of any solo female country artist. Her concert special, “CARRIE UNDERWOOD: REFLECTION,” is now streaming worldwide on Hulu and Disney+. She has starred in the show open for primetime television’s #1 program, NBC’s Sunday Night Football, for 14 consecutive seasons, and marked the 20th anniversary of winning “American Idol” by joining the judges panel of the hit show, alongside Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie on ABC and Hulu.
