Notre Dame Trail

In November of 2016, the Intercessory Prayer Team for the Notre Dame Trail organized a Prayer Service with the purpose to engage local church communities with the University’s 175th Anniversary Celebration. Church leaders learned first-hand from Lou Nanni about the vision and rationale for the pilgrimage. We invited the church leaders to pray with us, to communicate about the Notre Dame Trail within their communities, and to consider participation.

In continuation of this effort, once a month throughout this year, the Intercessory Prayer Team will be visiting local churches to fellowship in prayer. We invite you and your family to join us. Below is a list of the first two churches we will be visiting in the next couple of months.

You are also welcome to join the Intercessory Prayer Team in praying for the Notre Dame Trail. Below is a copy of the pilgrimage prayer card to pray at your convenience.

Please email Alyssia Coates with any questions.

Welcome to the world Jacob George Brennan!

Friends,
It is with great love and joy that we welcome Jacob George Brennan to the world. Ryan and Susie welcomed their miracle at 11:34 pm Sunday, January 15. He was 20″ and 7 lbs 6 oz at birth. It is fitting that he joined the world just in time to help his dad celebrate a Steelers playoff victory!
Please join me in congratulating Ryan and Susie and welcoming sweet little Jake into this amazing world!

Calendar Year End Closing

We plan to close out the gift processing for Calendar Year 2016 on Thursday, January 12. On Friday we will begin processing gifts for 2017. Please check to see if you have gifts that need to be counted in final CY2016 numbers and deliver them to Donor Services right away! Remember to include all envelopes for mail so that postmarks can be properly documented.

Of course, if a gift comes in later that is an actual 2016 gift (e.g. a mailed check with a 2016 postmark) we can provide the proper 2016 tax receipt.
Thanks to everyone for their partnership during this busy, exciting time!

Please join me in welcoming Josh Tullis as a new Program Director for Corporate Relations. Josh will begin his new career at Notre Dame on Thursday January 12th.
Josh is a double-domer, with a BS in Chemistry in 1996 and a PhD in Synthetic Organic Chemistry in 1999.  He spent the first part of his career as a research scientist in the pharmaceutical industry before leaving to lead a fourth-generation family real estate development business. For the past 12 years he has been engaged in real estate development, design, brokerage, and management. Josh brings a great mix of technical knowledge and business experience to our team. He will serve both the College of Science and the College of Engineering, working with faculty members in both areas in an effort to connect our research efforts with industry.
