Note: In Washington Hall at Notre Dame, I point out that “President Cavanaugh’s patron saint was Saint John the Apostle,” but the University moved the celebration of his day from December 27 to between December 6 and 13 “to be able to celebrate before students left campus for the Christmas holidays.” Not to be confused with Presidents’ Day in February today, it is also important to remember this is the celebration of the feast day of the saint of the President of the University and is not related to the President’s birthday (360).
