Each year at this time, the Alumni Association helps the Notre Dame family celebrate and honor their mothers and mother figures. More than 5,000 Mother’s Day postcards have been mailed by students — postage paid by the association. Here are ways you can participate:
- Submit Grotto Prayer Requests: On Friday, May 11, join us the Grotto at 12:30 p.m. for a prayer service for all mothers in the Notre Dame family. All Notre Dame faculty, staff, and students are invited to attend. If you cannot join us, special intentions submitted here will be prayed at the Grotto. You may also view the prayer service live on the Alumni Association’s Facebook page.
-
Pray a Novena for Moms:This year, we are offering a special Novena to Notre Dame, Our Mother as part of our Mother’s Day celebration. If you are not already subscribed to FaithND’s Daily Gospel Reflection, sign up to continue praying with us each morning through Mother’s Day.
- Stories Exploring Motherhood: We Are ND is publishing a collection of stories that chronicle a few of the joys and challenges of motherhood, from the surprise of an unexpected pregnancy to dealing with a tragic loss. Hear from moms within the Notre Dame family and learn from their journeys at weare.nd.edu.
