Prayer of Mercy and Items to Donate

Dear Colleagues,
The Alumni Association will welcome more than 300 volunteer leaders back to campus for our annual Leadership Conference from April 14-16th.  On Thursday, April 14th, we will begin our conference with a Pilgrimage and Prayer of Mercy, leaving from the Morris Inn Ballroom a little before 8 p.m. and processing through the Doors of Mercy of the Basilica.  Our prayer will focus on the corporal works of mercy, and it will last approximately thirty minutes.  We welcome you and hope you can join us for this special prayer.

Additionally, we invite you to participate in this prayer by providing for a work of mercy to be done in South Bend. We are collecting donations to be used in social service agencies who are performing works of mercy. Linked is a list of current needs where you can sign up to provide one of these items (each item should cost around $10).

Please bring these items to the Eck Visitor Center welcome desk by noon on Friday, April 8. If you have any concerns or questions, contact me at jnoem@nd.edu.

Thank you for considering our request,

Angie Appleby Purcell & Josh Noem

Condolences to Katherine Gardner

We are extremely disheartened to learn about the passing of Katherine Gardner’s (Flynn) Grandfather, Jim Flynn from Paducah, Kentucky. Jim died at the age of 83 on Saturday morning. Jim lived a bountiful and service-filled life that has been upheld by Kat and her entire family. Jim was an ambassador for the University of Kentucky and will have his funeral on Saturday, March 26th. Our thoughts and prayers are with Kat and her family.

Relay for Life Bake Sale

The Relay for Life Bake Sale is happening Wednesday, March 30th, in the ESC Cafe! The UR Walking on Sunshine committee is looking for bakers (or go out and purchase, we won’t tell 😉) to help our team raise funds and beat OIT! Outside of the auction, the bake sale is our biggest source for support, and there’s no better way to end the Lenten season than with a sweet treat.

Following the pattern from previous years, we are selling individual items (cookies, brownies, bars, etc…), or whole items (cakes, pies, etc…). If you would like to submit a baked good, please reach out to Jess Witous (j.witous@nd.edu) or Leah Corachea (kcorache@nd.edu)

It would be greatly appreciated if I could get a rough estimate of our inventory by March 28th so we can best prepare for this event.

Your support is sincerely appreciated,

Jess, Leah, Kristin, and Pam​
