Opening Mass to launch 2007-08 academic year
By: Gail Hinchion Mancini
Date: August 22, 2007
The ceremonial opening of the 2007-08 academic year at the University of Notre Dame will take place with the opening Mass at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday (Aug. 28) in the Joyce Center arena. A procession of faculty and student representatives will precede the Mass beginning at 5:20 p.m.
The opening Mass is the one time each year when all members of the community join together to welcome new members. Notre Dame’s president, Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., will celebrate the Mass and deliver the homily.
All students, faculty and staff and their family members are invited to the Mass and a picnic dinner that will follow the liturgy.
Unique to this academic year, the Notre Dame community’s attention is turning to the beatification of the Venerable Basil Moreau, C.S.C., the founder of the Congregation of Holy Cross, whose members founded and continue to serve Notre Dame.
